Any words of advise on a Saito 90T, 90TS or 100T? I’ve pretty much settled on wanting a 90TS because it’s a true boxer whereas the 90T & 100T run off a single crank pin. I think they also have more vibration than the 90TS but have no practical experience with any of these engines.

Got to agree, run the same ones and then some. Rebuilt them from the sweet little 60t up to the 300.
The odd fire tend to run a bit stronger and sound better too.

This shaft and bearing where both brand new. It took 2 hours of run time to destroy it. He set the bearing on a steel tube and put the shaft in it. It didn’t go on so he took a sledgehammer and drove it on. Instead of putting the bearing in a hot oil bath. He said he packed the bearing really good with grease and couldn’t figure out why it burned up.

So the 90T is more powerful than the 90TS?
I’ve read that some have experienced crankcase oil draining issues with the 90TS.

Hangar 9 Cessna 62, it was called.
Thanks Mike, some guys didn't like the 15.5 to 1 compression.
I haven't always rebuilt Saitos, this is a Fox 50 I built from all used parts.
Here is a Fox .50 I made out of used spare parts, a .46 badly beat up crankcase, used piston and ring and cylinder, BOCA bearings, EZJust carb and MVVS 3245 muffler. The prop is a Graupner 10.5x6 in a Hobby-Lobby/Kavan backplateless spinner.
