On another forum I read that you opposed jobs being sent overseas. I have had excellent experiences with K&B and Fox engines made right here in the USA. Try 'em. A great chance for us to put our $ where our heart is.[8D]

Man, I couldn't agree more. Nothing wrong with OS, but the gold-head K&B engines are excellent values. The K&B .48 thinks it's a .60 in a 40-size case (the "screamin" 48). The gold head .61 is true ABC construction and every bit as powerfull as the OS .61 FX - for less than $100! Subtract $20 if you trade an engine in on it. These aren't finicky or troublesome like some of the old K&B line. These work out of the box, and are tough to kill, as long as you follow break-in directions.
