Well those goofy laws that vary by state sure seem to leave a lot of grey area.


On the flip side there is a lot of junk out there too, we all know that.

A lot of the aircraft recip engine parts we used were made in Brazil (valves, valve springs, valve spring retainers, and valve keepers), Germany ( pistons and piston pins) and Great Britain( oil pump gears, rocker arm bushings, connecting rod bushings, connecting rod bolts…even SPS bolts, and engine bearings). ALL of these parts have to meet the OE specifications and pass an FAA inspection. ALL nations produce garbage as well as well made parts.

I agree with that. That's what I was getting at in Cliff's post. Just have to sort through it. Just because it's from a foreign country doesn't necessarily mean it's a bad part.
Australia makes some really nice products too. ICE ignition is one that comes to mind.
