OK, now you've opened a whole 'nother can of worms. In fact, this is
not new information to those of us who deal with this stuff daily
(although apparently it is to the mechanic who did the
overhaul). However, it is not applicable to the Ercoupe world as
none of the service manuals contain such language.
Simply put, when you overhaul an engine you must do it in accordance
with the manufacturer's overhaul instructions. If the instructions
contain references to future bulletins, then they become part of the
overhaul instructions. Simple enough, right?
