Hello All,
I am considering the purchase of an RV-7, and I am seeking more information regarding the ECI cast cylinder AD (2005-26-10). The airplane I am looking at has an Aero Sport O-360-A1A manufactured in November 2002, with around 450 hours TTSN. The Aero Sport work order lists cylinder P/N's CCS12A1. I have not yet performed a pre-buy inspection of the airplane, so I have not had the cowling off and been able to check the casting and serial numbers of the cylinders, or even to verify that they are in fact ECI parts.
Does anyone know if it is possible that an Aero Sport engine from 2002 might have ECI cast cylinders affected by the AD? Would Aero Sport have a record of specific cylinder casting and serial numbers? I plan to give them a call, but it might have to wait until Monday.
If the cylinders are included in the AD, I wonder what type of exchange credit is provided by ECI these days (if any)?
Thanks.
