i have 2 52's and a 72. i can tell you they are well worth the money. they mite not be the cheapest eng. going but i think that they are the best. properly adjusted and not run on sandy, dusty runways, etc., i doubt you could wear one out for many, many years of use. you should probably put it in your will. they are certainly well worth every penny!!!!!! taurus engs. is hurting tho because of the china invasion and the down turn in the economy and not because of issues with there engs. and that is for sure.
Bill O. of taurus engs. is a stand up guy and deserves our support. to lose taurus engs. would be a travesty and a shame!!!!!! rock on Bill O.
