Default RE: Engine life

All of the used engines that I have inspected had damage from dirt, some more than others. Corrosion and dried oil kills bearings that in turn ruin the rest of an otherwise good engine. The reason that OS engines seem to wear out faster is also the reason that they run so well out of the box. They have more piston/liner clearence than many other brands.
