The new "Cox classic" engine?
Some people with their imaginative descriptions. Here is one you can all snicker about:

RE: The new "Cox classic" engine?
I realize the picture is dim but the crankcase does appear to be a die casting with ribs. I have a drawer full of Cox engines and they all have a crankcase machined from an extrusion and not cast.
I don’t know what the advantage would be but the engine doesn’t look like a typical Cox.

My understanding is those (and I got 5 of them) are the bottom of the barrel cases they used at the very last of the production run/assembly, cause its all they had left to use and they are old cases........more power cause of better cooling...thats classic...Rog

Graham, I did realise that this was not the first of the "new" production engines to go on *bay nor will it be the last. I simply thought the title description was humorus to us, the knowlegable and at the same time, misleading to the uninformed. This thread is also a way to us to poke fun at such whimsical descriptions! It also serves to make those who are not up to date on things aware of what is going.
I am glad it is serving its intended purpose.
Thanks everyone!
Robert
