His experience has obviously been great, while I and a couple people I know have had some problems. No biggie, just the way things happen sometimes.
Appreciate your honest point of view Darkseid, not the sarcasm that OB42TC3 is implying in his response, which by the way doesn't affect me, because I've had nothing but good experiences and track results with my Sirios.
I've had a broken crank with an RB engine in the past, and other friends had them on other Nova based engines, and that doesn't mean Novarossi has bad quality. In most cases we've concluded in it beeing because of a bad tuned engine(overheated) or bad quality fuel.
By seeing your crank (color), and by the description of your leaking problems, before you fixed them, I most certainly can tell you that the breakage came because the crank was allready stressed from running overheated with a lean mixture, produced by the leaks of the past.
As you say....just the way things happen sometimes.....
Hope you have better luck with your next engine, whatever make it is.
