If you check with the FAA, you will find they do not differentiate between experimental, and certified in regards to A.D. compliance. Any aircraft with an N number must comply with the A.D.

I cant figure out why anyone would want to have ECI do the cylinder rework when the AMOC hasnt even been approved by the Feds yet. Seems like both the customer and ECI are asking for trouble and more delays by going this route. I would think that you would want to either wait for the Fed blessing of the AMOC or just buck up and pay for new cylinders. No?

You sure about that? Who told you this? I've found that many feds are not versed on experimental amateur built rules.

Put in a call to FAA Law Division in New England, and ask for yourself.

FAA Advisory Circular 39-7C, Section 8 Applicability of AD's:
Unless specifically stated, AD's apply to the make and model set forth in the applicability statement regardless of the classification or category of the airworthiness certificate for the aircraft.

Somewhere I heard, I think from JB, that the re-worked cylinders would have new serial numbers. The new S/N's wouldn't be on the AD so the AD wouldn't apply. Check with ECi but this was my understanding.

Thanks for the post Steve. I decided to go with new cylinders. Today, I pulled cylinders 1 & 2. They both look great. Tomorrow, I'll pull 3 & 4 then send the whole lot to ECI for exchange.

Any bad EXP cylinders
I am wondering if any of the newer tapered fin EXP cylinders had this problem? Were any of these manufactured in the AD serial number range?
