Hi, I was talking with a long time aviator here in Canada and he
told me all certified aircraft engine parts used for amateur built
aircraft have to have all original tracking number obliterated
before install . WOW !

Steve I'm not sure your getting good info? I'd have to double check
w/ the local inspector but I've not heard of having to do this (in
Canada), we certainly haven't on the a/c we're building.

Fwiw Jarrett Johnson (Also Canadian)

I fly a couple of certified experimental's with numbers. It could be some
people don't want anything traceable back to them and remove all their
numbers.

John, okay, so a certified aircraft engine, all numbers intact, could be removed from a certified aircraft, the engine placed into a amateur built aircraft, and run and maintained under those rules, and then one day be installed back into a certified, with no record of it's alternative life. Just trying to understand how the DOT can track that use, or not !
