Continental Buys ECI

Wonder if this means any chances for ECI. Just interesting to me because of their line of Titan engines; Lycoming clones now build by Continental 8)

That stinks! I hope they keep producing cylinders. We put at set on the '54 and what a difference they made.

Re: Continental Buys ECI

I just got off of the phone with ECI they are NO longer producing Continental cylinders.They will only manufacture them for Lycoming. They also laid off the whole repair shop. It looks like more American workers will be out of work.

I hope the Chinese do not start producing the experimental Cubs over in China to save costs.
