I received all of my hard parts back from Aircraft Specialties Services today with tags. My engine is experimental in that it does not meet the type certificate Lycoming holds by having an EFII, custom heads, custom exhaust, custom cold air intake and the extensive list goes on. But I am meeting good aviation and engineering practices by having all of the parts going into the engine inspected and/or repaired and assembled in accordance with Lycoming service instructions. My connecting rods were OH'd and had S.I. 1359 performed to modify the rod caps in order to accept the newer version rod bolts. All rocker arms were overhauled with new bushings, my crankshaft idler gear was inspected and had the bushing replaced. All hydraulic lifter units were overhauled and tested, and then the balance of hard parts cleaned and had a magnetic particle inspection performed. I've ordered the remaining needed parts as new, so it's all coming together.
