We will be purchasing a new XIO-320 in the next few days for the 9A and have a few engine questions:
1. Do the new factory Lycomings from Vans get run in with test prop and such as do most of the ECI buildup engines?
2. Are there any real break-in differences between the Nickel ECI cylinders and the standard Lycoming cylinders?
3. Other differences between the two to consider??
Apparently Vans has kept their engine prices the same (so far), but the ECI builds have gone up or are going up soon... This is a big purchase and we don't want to mess up!
