New Cylinders
It's looking like I will be buying new cylinders for my 0-320. The cost of overhauling my old ones is just about the price of new ones.
My question - Is there any real advantage of who I buy them from? It looks like everyone has about the same price. If there's no advantage then I was just thinking about using A/S. Should I be looking at someone else?

Cylinders
You need to get a Trade-a-Plane and look at the deals in there on cylinders also maybe look on barnstormers.com but thats just me I dont shop at A/S because of shipping charges.

Last time I looked AERO had the best prices on cylinders as well as new engines.

Yep. I've been looking through Trade-A-Plane. I looked at AERO. I was not as familiar with their Air Boss cylinders. I was leaning towards Lycoming or Millennium.

AERO had a free shipping deal on cylinders when I bought mine a few months ago. Don't know if it's still on but worth looking into.

Jeff, Did you get the Air Boss Cylinders? Any feedback on them?
I called AERO and spoke to them. It looks like the Air Boss Cylinders are their co branded version of the ECI Titan. So far it looks like Air Power has the best price.

Air Power
I just had to put 6 new cylinders on the rv10. Air power had the best price and really fast service.

Yes. Air Boss is just their own brand, mine were actually factory new Continental steel barrel jugs (O-200.). The box said Air Boss.
