Wait till SBs become mandatory by regulation .. which is in the works.

this is just plain incorrect.

just read today that AOPA (or some other alphabet) is climbing onto
the soapbox to fight this non-issue.

one more time-the recent ruling states that if you are overhauling
an engine in accordance with an approved overhaul manual that
explicitly states that service bulletins are mandatory, you must
comply with the service bulletins.

nothing new, just the first ruling to that effect.

there is a world of difference between this ruling and the blanket
statement that all manufacturer SB's will "become mandatory" by
regulation.
