See if you can get a copy of Aviation Consumer's article a year or so
back on this. Also, check out ECI cylinders. Remember that a top OH
doesn't add much value to your airplane, where a full overhaul does if
done by a reputable shop.


Better yet, contact the folks at GAMI. They may open your eyes a bit
about those ECI's from what they've been seeing.

Every time I "elucidate" (I guess), I get flamed from the intelligent
lurkers on the group while the more intelligent stand by, never
participating but understanding exactly what I say. If you want the
opinion of a few people who have for years been carefully watching
cylinders of all manufacture, looking at both their strengths and
weaknesses, contact the group at GAMI. Granted they don't have the
armchair backass experience that most of the people here have with
second guessing, but if a scientific opinion, gathered from the use of
thousands of hours of measured data using instruments that are on the
cutting edge interests you, give them a call.

I really don't want to say anything else about it. For you
armchairers, it's because I'm full of sh*t, so no need to take note.

Jon, I'm not going to call ECI and demand that they waste their time
talking to a non customer (carburetor engines on my current plane)...
But, if you are aware of field problems with ECI TITAN cylinders, why
not just say so... Sure, some idiot will micturate all over you, it
comes with usenet... I pointed out that I had good service on my
IO-520D 300HP with their original Cermichrome cylnders - which were
supposedly junk... And, based on that experience I feel that their
TITAN cylinder with the nickle/silicon liner will work like
gangbusters...

Hmmm. You pretend not to care what we armchairers think, but evidently you do
care, so much so that it prevents you from providing possibly good information.
Too bad.

Go ahead an offer whatever valuable knowledge you have. If you're criticized by
people whose opinions you don't value, why worry?
