Jack sent me a bare engine with carb. This engine while it turned over freely had more crud in it than the first one, but no aluminum swarf.
I'll run the engine and see whats what. Who knows, maybe it will outperform the DLE anyway. I'm concerned about the con rod not having oil slits or holes and the size of the top of the rod looks narrow compared to the DLE.
Sounds like MT still has a ways to go regarding QC and initial design. All things being equal and because this is a DLE thread, it appears that right now DLE has it together better than MT or Syssa. Kinda fun sitting back watching it all unfold though. Down the road we're going to have some pretty good choices in the 30cc class engines.
