No reciprocating parts have changed. I did that and with MT prop the combination was a certified combination. I got 25 hours from the FAA inspector. His concern was proven moving parts and combinations with respect to torsinal vibrations and previously approved combinations. True this is not an approved certified engine. Next question. 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?
