"a mandatory instruction bulletin is issued by the FAA lets say, a
particular
part in the motor has been found defective like a camshaft or crankshaft and
you must correct the problem in the next 50 flight hours.  I am under the
impression that even though your engine is now "Experimental" you must
comply with these instructions because that part has been deemed to be "not
airworthy".  Any comments?"

Bob,

My engine is an O-320D1F with oil splashers incorporated, making it
"Experimental".  My prop/engine is certified combination.  My inspector is
giving me 40 hours--by the book.  I asked him about AD and SB compliance and
he said since the engine was now experimental, I didn't have to comply with
anything.  Course, the smart money says otherwise....

It could be that my inspector is a bit more demanding than usual because
he's getting re-certified by his DMI on my airplane!  I have mixed emotions
about that....

Naf (final inspection scheduled for April 1)
