I think you are wrong as the first line in the AD clearly states that the AD is applicable to aircraft maintained under CAR 42B which is the CASA maintenance schedule. So as That Chinese Fella said it all comes back to the Log Book Statement and what system is applicable to that particular aircraft.
So if Plankbenders log book statement does not have IAW CAR42B he could possibly be in for a rude shock from CASA or his insurance company even though he does have that nice letter because not 'in compliance with AD/ENG/4' and if an adjuster or CASA picks this out it could be expensive.
So if you then want to change over to the CAR42B system all the other requirements must be carried out as listed in the AD. So I would think that having Manufactures or Lycoming in the LBS is the same as having IAW CAR42A in the statement not making AD/ENG/4 applicable.
