Good Morning.
Some time ago I e-mailed the EAA with the question, if
a part (particularly the engine)that is not night VFR
recommended was installed on an otherwise night
equipped experimental aircraft would there be any FAA
restrictions on night flight? Below is the answer I
received.
This is the same answer a couple of knowledgeable
listers posted.

Hello Mark,
An experimental aircraft is not bound by the engine
manufacturers' operating instructions. So long as
your FAA-issued operating limitations allow the
aircraft to be flown at night or under IFR, you would
be legal to do so (providing the aircraft is properly
equipped). As for insurance requirements, you would
have to check with the insurance underwriter directly
in order to verify coverage.
Let me know if you have further questions.
