Ouch - I hate to see stuff like this go down. I got my butt bit on the Lycoming crankshaft recall on my Cessna 182 - Cost me $8-10K. The general trend now seems to be for the big guys to put the burden on the owner operator. 



I bought a Mattituck Red/gold Engine from the guys in New York.

It is still sitting in the box. These engines are made from Lycoming parts unless otherwise specified. I agonized and paid a lot of bucks extra as opposed to getting an overhauled engine. It is obviously no guarantee of not getting a S/B from hell like this, but it definitely increases the comfort zone. They always have a deal at OSH with free freight. For those sitting on the fence, you might want to consider talking with Mahlon at OSH.

Makes me glad I bought a new certified Lycoming from Vans back when they

were cheaper. Even then I noticed  an anomaly in the oil sump casting and

Lycoming agreed to replace the sump. They sent a guy with parts and tools to

replace it in my garage; It was already mounted to the airframe; I assisted

and we had the sump changed in about three hours.

Just a note. I talked to ECI This morning. I had a engine OVH by Western Skyways and the only time on the engine is the test cell time. I do not plan on flying with these cyl since they have had 30+ failures. Not that many They say. I was told for $3,000 I could get a new set for my engine. This with only 1.5 hrs. I still have to take it to another test cell and run before I would put back on my RV10. 

   I've used Titan before and got them for my customers and thats why I got them this time but I tell you this really stinks.

   Waiting on Western Skyways to call me back.
