I want to keep my IO-540-D "certified" (sort of) so it will be easier to
sell when a better engine alternative presents itself.
This may not be true.  The buyer for your engine will be probably be 
utilizing it in some sort of home built, if not, the market is big enough to find some 
one that will.  Most home built engines are not in a configuration to be 
considered "certified" any more anyway.  The only reason to have a "certified" 
engine in a home built is to maybe reduce the test period from 40 to 20 hours.  
In my opinion, 40 hrs is really needed to do a true flight test program on a 
home built to get real numbers.  I know that many home built guys have signed 
off the phase one and never flew at full gross, they cut corners and are putting 
them self's, and famil/friends at risk.  Maybe cutting corners is fine if you 
have built several of the same model, but I only built one.
