Roger, don't know when ZDZ published their 3 year warranty. But the background of the now called Taurus is 8 years of custom engine building. The Taurus name came to the forefront 4 years ago.Hence 3 year warranty. So what, right!. Well letssee I take us currency to Canada I get a !-1/2 more Canadian. Wonder what the exchange rate and labor rates are in ZDZ country. And are you positive ZDZ makes all their own parts. I just saw a new 3W 100 with made in Italy imbossed on the cylinders. I believe 3W says they make all their own parts too. I find that interesting.
Oh well who really cares anyway.
FOrgot who said something about conversions and mentioned Zenoah.
The G38,G62, G45 are actually converted engines. Check out Red Max by Komatzu.. Just a point.
