So I wake up this morning to a nice e-mail from the FAA letting me know about a new engine AD 2008-19-05. It has something to do with the cylinder heads and having to have 50 hour inspections done (ouch!). Now the question that I have is this:
The AD states: "If your engine has not been overhauled or had any cylinder assemblies replaced since new, no further action is required."
The engine I have installed has this statement in the log book (from Textron Lycoming) "This engine has been overhauled/rebuilt in accordance with applicable...blah, blah, blah". The original service tag indicates "remanufactured/rebuilt" and NOT "overhauled". The engine came from the factory.
With this information, is this engine considered "new" or "overhauled"? None of the cylinders have been replaced (only removed/reinstalled due to broken studs). I am thinking that it would be considered "new" but I'm not A&P and would appreciate any input!!!
Also, the AD says it can be difficult to read the cylinder P/Ns...any tricks to seeing those on the 0-320???
