RE: OS change to Nickel Plating instead of Chrome?
OK Folks:
Just to clarify, at this time OS in not making ANY ABC engines.
All OS engines without ringed pistons, are ABN even though they said ABL for a while, now they mostly say "Non-Ringed."
All the four stroke engines, except the FL-70, are ringed pistons running in a plain steel liner.
Their Heli engines are the last hold out for OS two stroke ringed engines, they have already changed some of them to ABN, the 32 SH for one.
When their prices are so much higher than similar engines with true chromed liners from other makers I can not accept ABN as a means of holding their prices down. I'm afraid I see it as only a method of increasing their profit margin, quality be damned.
Bill.
