And as anyone who has seen my modified Werk's run can attest we are pushing the extreme limits of power and RPM for a offroad engine....These engines are rock solid..... When I modify some of the other brands and start cranking up the power and RPM we start seeing mechanical weaknesses come to the surface..some engines have weak rods, others have weak pistons, some have brittle pistons....The Taiwanese engines definitely do not have the same mechanical limits as a Italian built engine like a Werk's,Nova,Picco....Now I know not everyone is into modded engines, but there is no denying the fact that these Werk's engines are over built and capable of handling far more power and RPM then come with stock..... The issues people are seeing are almost certainly user related errors....
