ECI or Millennium Cylinders?

Trying to decide on these two. I've kind of ruled Lycoming out at this point
so I need some help on these two. If you know of an article or if you have
personal experience recently with either of these I'd appreciate your
thoughts. My plane is a PA28 235.

Feel free to e-mail me at


Thanks in advance.

Just curious... why'd you rule out Lycoming? My mechanic seems to favor
them.

Some like one and some like another. It's really a tough call
since you only do it every 10 years. I like what I'm hearing about ECI
and their experience and their warranty. They are actually a little
less than Lycoming, which surprised me. I want the best cylinder
no matter the cost. I hadn't even looked at cost until today and was
given $950 for ECI and $1,188 for Lycoming which surprised me but I
haven't even tried calling around.

Aviation consumer has a very good article this month about the 4 cylinder
makers.

Lycoming and TCM don't do very well, but ECI & Millenium do.

FWIW, when the time comes I'm going with ECI and their "cermi-nil" process.

TripFarmer,

Well, I don't want to violate their copyright. You can buy a single
article from their website, I think, but frankly, the subscription cost
is made up in savings through their recommendations real quick for
anyone owning an aircraft, IMHO.

The essence of their testing has been mentioned in this thread already,
but the details are very interesting, too.
