Thank You all for your responses and advices. Since my cylinders have had two overhauls already, the last one overhauled with the Satin-chrome process, the only source for this type of cylinders ( Nickel-carbide) is Engine Components Inc (ECI). They do have new cyl´s for some Continental engines not the 360´s, so my only choice in this type , would be to purchase the overhauls ones from ECI sending mines as cores. Any experience with this?
Because of the explained I´m thinking about new Continental´s, and look for the job in a Venezuelan FAA approved shop.
Do not think in Reman, since difference in price with overhaul one in local shop is about $5000 per engine.
Excuse me for my late reply, but was out on vacation.
Thank you again.
