Sentry Aircraft Cylinders??
Does anyone have experience with Sentry Aircraft Cylinders of Fort Worth. Texas? The man's name is Dave and he sells a lot of new and used parts** He seems like a good guy and has good feedback but I thought I'd check him out a little more on this site. Thanks.

Sentry Cylinders-Fort Worth
When I overhauled my O-300B in '98 or '99 I purchased 6 new ECI cylinders through Senty and did so after confiring w/ Sentry. I had two that were junk & 4 that they said needed welding, which they do, & then they would have been sent to Tulsa for rechroming, if there was enough metal left to do so. I elected to go ahead & go with new cylinders as the estimated cost for the new one, incl. new piston, rings, etc was only about $125 more than repairing the old one, assuming they Could be repaired. If Sentry welded them & the chrome shop rejected them then the welding work was lost. I have been happy with the ECI's. I am pretty sure Sentry still does all the repair/welding work for El Reno's cylinders.
