ECI and Continental

[Hondo]

All American Aircraft recently sold a Mooney Rocket with an engine rebuilt by Dugosh.

Dugosh replaced the Contnental cylinders with ECI cylinders.

Are ECI cylinders better or more durable than the Continental cylinders?

ECI cylinders have been the subject of a number of ADs over the years.

Continental eliminated ECI competition with their product line, but retained ECI products that compete with Lycoming.

Ominous future if Textron sells Lycoming to the Chinese.
