RE: ASP or OS
And yet people are still asking the same question.
If you're loaded and money isn't an issue, buy the OS. You won't be sorry. However, if money IS an issue, you can't go wrong buying a Sanye engine if the retailer/importer will stand behind it. They take a little longer to break-in. What does that mean? It means that you won't get the lowest idle right out of the box. It means that it might quit a few times during the first flights before it breaks in enough to stabilize and stay running. It means that if you break the engine into multiple pieces because you are a new pilot and prone to make mistakes, you won't cry nearly as long as you would have had the engine been an OS.
