Hello all, I am building my 7, and my brother is looking to buy a 9a. We found one that seems to fit him quite well, and at a fair price. Everything about the plane seems great except for the fact that the 0-320 has ECi type A cylinders on it. The Mandatory Service Bulletin http://eci.aero/pdf/08-1.pdf applies to these cylinders.
The engine has approximately 800 hours on it, and compression was 76,74,78,76 at the last check.
I was wondering if anyone out there had any experience in dealing with this MSB and these cylinders. Compression checks every 50 hours does not seem that much of a pain. If the engine has been strong so far, is it reasonable to assume it will be good till 2000 hrs? Any thoughts, experiences, and or guidance is welcome.
