Did you remove your engine data plate from your TC'd Lycoming engine because you installed an LSE ignition in place of one magneto, or installed an aftermarket experimental alternator?
Any mod done to the engine without an STC, PMA'd part, or field approval (like the addition of a standby alternator in place of the vac pump or the addition of a P-Mag), or your working on it without an A&P signing off your work (Repairman's Cert for your RV doesn't cover it BTW) VOIDS THE ENGINE TYPE CERTIFICATE. What I just learned is that you can be subject to enforcement action if you fly with these mods and you have your original data plate on the engine, which in reality no longer applies because you modified something. So, did you remove your data plate? Anybody ever been ramp checked and had a problem?
