Looking to replace cylinders in my O320 E2D.
Planning on 9:1 compression pistions.

Lycoming? Superior? or Continental?

What would you buy and why?

The shop I used for my -540 wouldn't use ECI/Titan/Continental. They had no preference between Superior/Lycoming. I chose Lycoming because I've had good experience with their product.

Thanks Kyle! That's the kind of experience I'm looking to hear.

FWIW, I left the decision up to my shop (Barrett Precision Engine) on my rebuild and they chose Lycoming.
