Superior Airparts has issued a service bulletin and cylinder recall, soon to be an AD for certified aircraft. It deals with the heat treating of the cylinders.
The affected cylinders were manufactured between April and November 2005.
The SB is located at: http://www.superiorairparts.com/sb0601/letter.asp
This is getting very frustrating. First the ryton sump, now this. Factor in the Lycoming cranks.
Don't any of these manufacturers QA their inhouse or out-sourced parts.
You do the research to buy what you feel is the best product for the best price, build... now you may have to rebuild...
Rant over.
I may not be included in the AD as my XP-IO360 was delivered on 12/30/05, one month after the mfg window. I hope they had just-in-time inventory.
I'll check my numbers tomorrow.
