Glow engine ID
I am trying to ID an engine. I see a 46 on one side and a picture of an airplane with the word pro under it. Any ideas who the manufacturer could be or another way i can identify this engine? Thanks, Dirtyd

Until a major spare part is needed...
...Then, you are better off just buying a whole new engine.
In other words; it is a disposable engines, use and discard...

Hummmm... if repairable at reasonable cost, then it is always at least half full...

Just like an OS. Their parts are similarly priced as well -- & you are quite correct -- it isn't worth making a major repair to either one. Fortunately neither OS nor Thunder Tiger need much in the way of repairs.
The only cheaply repairable engines in North America are the PRC OS clones.

The parts for both are similarly priced, but since the TT is considerably cheaper, their prices are relatively expensive.
At the quoted US prices, a P+L set and a rear bearing cost more than a whole engine, muffler included.
The TT is a pretty good initial purchase. But if something does break, or wear-out, just forget the whole thing.
...And I prefer non-alcoholic diet sodas to beer... My glass in always empty, since I chuggle-it-up, as soon as it comes...
I am just being realistic.
