Gentlemen what we have here is a complete and total breakdown in communication.... I have mentioned to those in the know numerous times in the past most if not all of the following...

Taurus Engines utilizes Sachs and Husky cylinder assemblies as well as custom piston configurations.

Taurus Engines does not use a Sachs Crank. The Taurus crank is a two piece unit. Utilizes "expensive" single row high rpm bearings, not the standard industrial units offered in nearly every other engine. The 6202's as referenced by RCIgnition can be had for less than $10.00 anywhere and are typically installed in electric motor's, pumps, alternators and other industrial applications. These are not considered precision bearings I'm using the 6202's as an example, typically there are various bearings utilized of the same caliber and or quality. A "Precision Bearing" is also a HYPE advertisement used by many. A true description of the bearing, it's part number and origin will separate the boys from the girls.

Taurus Engines buys there components direct from the manufacturer's, after all they are an OEM company. [Original equipment manufacturer, you know like GM and Ford]

Taurus Engines are anything but a chainsaw conversion... As mentioned previously they build custom engines with a proprietary lower end utilizing various cylinders assemblies and other OEM parts. It's like building any other hi-performance engine, the right combination of parts, attention to clearances and balance factors that work coupled with something other than a standard CD Ignition will provide the end user a superior product and that is exactly what Tauras Engine's has done... Like Ralph said it's not rocket science, just attention to details... Much like the difference between your model and a TOC competitor's... Taurus Engines does not mass produce their product every engine's components are either CNC'd from billet aluminum and or purchased outright and are hand fitted, assembled and test run.

Lastly The Taurus Engine is EXACTLY what it is described as, nothing more and nothing less. There are many engines manufactured that are "SIMILAR" and that is where the line is crossed... I know of no other engine's that are directly comparable to Taurus... If you look into each and every engine offered and make a direct comparison you'll understand my statement...
