He apparently could make the decision to supply parts on a zero time engine but is away now for "several weeks". Who is it that you, Tom & Harold, talked to get the parts to comply with the service bulletin? Any help would be appreciated. I feel extremely uncomfortable flying in a new airplane, going into flight test, with a known defect in the engine. One of the individuals tried to console me with the statement that very few of the engines would ever exhibit the problem. It only takes the one...to ruin your whole day.
