I told you you were right motorman. I stand corrected and now agree with you that OS turns out nothing but junk. I don't know HOW I could have been wrong all these years. I am definitely going to throw away all my lousy ABN OS engines and buy those exceptional engines made in China from now on. God what a fool I've been. All these years buying and using junk. I wouldn't think of selling them or giving them away. Wouldn't want any other poor modeler to end up with my junk. Thank you for showing me the error of my ways.

Oh one more little item. I HAVE used OS ABN car engines. 21VF-C. Ultra high performance engines rated at over 2 HP at 32,000. I used them in boats so I didn't have to use water cooling. Also in a couple cars. Funny they still run fine and there is no wear in the cylinder. I didn't realize they were poorly made engines so now I guess they come out of the boats.
