For what it's worth,
I am not an expert on the subject.
When I received my airworthiness certificate several years ago the DAR
required that the oil pump AD on my used IO-360 be complied with. I spoke
with the FAA directly and they did not know or have an answer on AD
compliance. I spoke with AOPA, no insight. I spoke with EAA. They said
(from an interpretation from the FAA) that you are not required to comply
with an AD however you are required to address the issue. The logic being
that when I replaced the gears in my engine thus complying with the AD,
however I am not an A&P so the AD was not technically complied with. I did
however address the issue. There position was that I could address the
issue using whatever method you choose not necessarily what is spelled out
in the AD. In my case I happened to use their method of addressing the
issue. My understanding is that if I wanted to place this engine back on a
certified A/C the AD would still need to be complied with.
This seems like common sense logic so I am going with it. Again I am no
expert.
