Yes, my Superior book states the same, I do not own any pubs from ECI.

Lycoming is quite specific about not using a magnet on the tappets...

Are we mixing up old castings (and narrow deck) cylinders that were designed for the older style of retainers?
The old narrow deck cylinders I have in my hangar do not have the cast in boss under this retainer, and I believe a spacer was called out in this case, but I can't find my old obsolete parts manual...

Compare the ECI with the Lycoming clips .The ECI clips have a nasty crease just waiting to break.
And yes you might need a washer or two under the clip, (use your own judgment) the cyl head castings could be made better.
How much do these engines cost???

It looks like I will be changing out the retainers as precaution.

Does anyone ....Gil.... know the part number for the Neoprene Valve Cover Gaskets.... ECi Titan IOX-360 .

Thanks in advance.

My research comes up with a part number ....75906

So... SL75906 @ 1.03
75906 @ 1.52

and at Chief

RG-75906 @ 6.75

I just need to call AERO and check to see what the gasket material is made of.

THANKS GIL>>>>>plus you are fast!!!!!

Hi Tony

Is AERO sending you Lyco or Superior retainers.

The reason I ask is I called them today (Aug 10, 2010) and they said they were out of Lyco but would send out Superior which were sent to all that have called ......

I don't know. As long as they aren't ECI ones I don't care.
