    Integral superchargers and planetary reductions are radial engine components not applicable to the common opposed engines. There is nothing to prohibit an A&P from splitting the case on a direct drive opposed engine, never has been.
    That clears up any question of that error.

    All I.A.'s are A&P's with Inspection Authorization.. An I.A. does inspections and can return an aviation product to service after a major repair or alteration and that's what he is allowed to do. A&P's do maintenance & repairs. An A&P can return an engine to service without an I.A.'s signature in most cases.
