Thanks..
Thanks for the input... one other thing that I see on the ECI quotes is the angled oil filter adapter - How does the factory Lycoming oil filter mount??

The Lycoming 0360 A1A from Van's was straight out the back.

Note that a O-360-A1A may come with only an oil pressure screen, but apparently Vans gets them with the filter as Roberta says.

On an ECI engine, how is the cam lubed differently from lycoming? And if the engine won't be run all winter long, how is the cam to be kept lubed up?

...shows the extra nozzles that squirt oil on the cam -
They are not on most of our true Lycoming O-360s...

cam lube
Thanks for the excellent picture. I see the cam oil nozzles. What's the procedure prior to months of just sitting? I'm thinking of adding a preoiler, and running up the oil pressure periodically. Will this be enough pressure to squirt the cold oil onto the cam to recoat?

Mattituck told me that some people do just that. My solution is to fly every weekend. Of course, I live in the desert.

just curious, what about this AD I just found on line about eci cylinders? Said they had to be inspected every 50 hours, no if's and's or but's. I assume all eci kit engines have them, plus I guess they can be put in other brand of engines?
We are in the process of picking an engine for our rv8, either the lycoming from van's or an eci titan kit. Any comments about the AD

It was just a batch of ECI cylinders, not all of them. My ECI cylinders for instance are not affected.

Any idea where you would get a preoiler from?
