Sounds like you have quite a collection. Yes the Taiwanese motor wave has hit everywhere. Some are a little better quality than others, but I guess at those prices most people don't care if the motor only lasts half a season.
I like a little more value for money and longevity myself though.
I here what your sayin Grizz1. I have GO engines that
have lasted eight gallons and are still running strong
and thats with cast pistons. The new JL engine comes
with a billet piston and a cheap price tag. They all come
with the cheaply made two gallon con rods and bearings.
But what the hell, the rods don't cost much and neither
do TKO ceramic bearings. But then again the stock bearings
that come in the higher-end nitro engines aren't much if
any better. I think the main thing about getting any nitro
engine to last a long time and give less greif is proper break-
in and taking the time to tune the engine propery. Way too
many guys chiming in to all the engine threads wanting to
know the magic carb needle settings for there engines.
