Yes have read some horror stories on them. I have taken it apart thus far and looks ok turns over ok. No pin hole leaks anywhere in the case or bad threads.Rod and pin look good line up and float well. All the same will hold my breath.
This generation engine while under the wing of the original owner had made some good running engines sourced this from Japan. I have the CL version and the Speed version too.

I'm using the round 1/2A engine mount to swap out and try different engines and brands as I go along all have the control arm for the RC carbs on the left. Also keeping with the 6x3 for thrust / less rpm as not to stress it.
