Default RE: A WORD OF WARNING ABOUT OFF BRANDED ENGINES

I like OS engines just fine just cant see spending %40 of the cost of a new engine for just a piston and liner. I have had a lot of trouble with Magnum engines for some reason, usually carb related but also had valve spring trouble in my XL52RFS. Thunder Tiger has given me much less trouble and the parts are inexpensive but their customer service is iffy. Aviatronics engines are made well but there has been a lot of carb related troubles however Sigs customer service is outstanding!
