The engine you linked is a rear exhaust?....A really good rear exhaust engine is the OS .18 TZ...
...but besides all that I am not even sure the OP needs a new engine yet....once we see broken bits then we can think about what will be appropriate....remove backplate on original engine and have a look Krokodyl.
Yeah, their nickel liners peel in their plane engines. Nickel is the cheap route. I'm surprised they don't cheap out and make the car liners with nickel instead of chrome. A lot of OS engines are made in China now too.
I didn't catch the exhaust orientation - my bad.
