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 !

when you pull an engine you SHOULD log it in the air frame and power plant logs, the power plant logs should go with the engine anywhere it goes if its installed in an amateur built its no longer certed. and it was logged as removed from air frame. so before it could but put back on to a certified aircraft it would have to go out for an over haul to return it to as manufactured condition (i work in the aircraft component's repair industry), no if some one say didnt log the fact it was installed in an experimental and knowingly re installed on a certified aircraft they could go to jail for that and fines all that fun stuff.
