az_zilla - if this were a factory engine I'd be a lot better off. The original builder of the plane put a certified crankcase and crank with old worn out cylinders and accesories with a 200 HP sump and modified intake pipes etc. etc. It's a bit of a cobled up mess. When I pulled the old cylinders off I took the conn rods in to have them checked and found out they had been illegally modified. Two rockers were worn out and I got replacements but I want to make sure they're the right ones.
The M1A parts book shows the rocker p/n should be 17F19357 which is different than what I found on the plane. The document you linked to above was good help though. As you say the M1A and M1B look like they are the same as far as cylinders etc. go.
I got the cylinders from ECi - I think I'll call them.
