Brian Your DAR is right,I just went through this on a certified aircraft a guy wanted annualed,he bought the plane for a good price (so he thought) because the lady had lost the log books on the engine so she had to sell it as if it did not have a engine.I talk to the FAA before I told him I would do the inspection and since there was not records on the engine, all applicable AD's had to be verified or done again.PLUS the plane had a prop strike and had never even been check after that,but that was in the new engine book they had started that only went back 63 hours.I turned down the pleasure of doing the inspection because of the time it would have required,but needless to say his good deal went bad quick.
