Actually his DAR is right on the money.If you put a certified engine in a experimental and have it inspected as a certified engine and signed off as such,you do have to comply with all applicable AD's,but you can have the same engine installed and not have it signed off as certified and get around the issue.However you are then subject to the 40 hr test flight rules and not the 25 Hrs given for certified engines.Been there argued with FAA and lost.And FAR's are not regional they are the same everywhere,just some FSDO's don't know there own rules.....
