I posted this to general discussion also but since I am specifically looking to buy a 140 I thought someone in this section may have experience specific to the model 140 and ECi cylinders.
I'm shopping for a PA-28-140 and was lucky to find out right before purchasing one that the overhaul used ECi's cylinders. I'm new to aircraft ownership and with everything I've read I don't want to gamble with those cylinders.
Now that I'm looking at others I'm unsure if the engine overhaul used a re-man cylinder or new. Would the log books list the brand and/or model of cylinder used in the overhaul? Do logs normally show that level of detail?
Thanks,
Jared
