Ever notice the crap that comes out of the continental factory?


In the last few years, Continental has, on virtually every part, changed
virtually every manufacturing process, in some way.... Is this question fishing
for old news, new news, or.... what?

Continental has repeatedly told us how much better their cylinders have
become. The evidence I have seen is exactly the opposite. I will be
putting an O-520 into my 182 this winter, no way I go with new
Continental cylinders.



Is Lycoming any better?

For cylinders yes. For everything else no.
