What is the process that occurs to 'convert' a used Lycoming O-360 from certificated to experimental? (assuming that is the right question)
If one buys a mid-time or run-out certificated engine and wants to go the DIY rebuild (with all the parts shipped out for inspections, etc). Does that 'become' an experimental engine from that point on?
If one buys the certificated engine from Vans but hangs it on an experimental, then it remains certificated and requires A&P for future work? But what if one buys the experimental engine? Or, builds an ECI up?
Re-read FAR 43-10 and 43-1, but don't know where else to research. Maybe just point me in a direction to FAA guidelines?
Probably answered a gazillion times in the FAQ?
