Hello all,
I own a flying RV-6 but did not built it. I was recently looking at the engine logbook and noticed that a log entry from September 30th, 2011 (nearly 2 years after the ECI cylinder AD was published) says that "4 new AEL65102 cylinders were installed".
I believe AEL65102 refers to ECI cylinders. But given the date of the installation, is it a given that these cylinders are affected by the AD? Or did ECI continue to produce cylinder assemblies that were not subject to the airworthiness directive?
I asked the previous owner and he said he wasn't aware of any AD on the cylinders. I'm going to look through the paperwork I have and see if I can glean any serial numbers, but if I can't find a paperwork trail, what's the best way to proceed?
