Seidel 7-70 radial: Help me decide!

Thread Starter
I figured the labor costs would be low. And there really couldn't have been that many parts that needed to be completely replaced. Honestly, I think the real reason it wouldn't start was the piston rings. The "import duty" was just the bad luck. UMS says it depends entirely on who the inspection officer happens to be on any given day.
One thing's for sure, I'm going to be taking much better care of it from now on!

Here is some interesting reading. This guy is apparently well-known and well-respected in Germany for radial engine repair (and some of his custom engines are spectacular). Seen through German eyes, the interior of the UMS engines leave much to be desired.
