What constitutes complete engine logs when an engine is rebuilt, removed from a certified plane some hours later, and then installed in a new experimental with experimental accessories?
More detail:
I'm in the process of purchasing a flying RV-10. My bank wants to know if the engine logs are complete. The engine is ~450 SMOH it was removed running from an Apache and installed in a new RV-10 160 hours ago. The engine logs predate the last two rebuilds by decades, but did not appear go back the full 2400 hour history of the engine. The first rebuild was at TBO and the cases (and cylinders) were replaced. It was rebuilt again 10 months and 200 hours later due to a prop strike. New crank, cylinders, and accessories at that time. Airflow Performance Fuel Injection was installed during the RV-10 installation, so it's definitely not a certified engine anymore.
Thanks in advance,
Guy
