Chuck,
 I'm the same as you in the past. And I'll be the first to admit that I'm still holding my breath as to what may happen with this engine. But so far I've been running the snot out of it and it's holding in there just fine. Trust me, if problems do arise with it I'll be the first to let everybody know. But I figure for the cost of $79 it's a pleasant little find!!!!
