I wouldn't touch Continental or Millenium cylinders with a 10 foot

I know Continentals are cheese; what's wrong with Milleniums?

They are good cylinders until you need warranty work. When I had my 182
I was considering putting the Pponk engine on it earlier this spring.
It is basically a carb'd 520 that puts out 275 HP. The guy that owns
Pponk is famous in Cessna circles for the quality of his work. He won't
sell you a Millenium cylinder. He used to push them but then the
company gave him and everybody else so much grief over customer service
issues that he stopped selling them. Millenium is like JPI, the
products can be good but the company treats its customers like dirt.
