The latest Tower catalog (2006) that I received yesterday, lists a "1.60 ABL w/Muffler" in the pricing area on page 223. The picture on the same page shows a "1.60 FX ABL". This implies a ringless engine. Is this a new version of the 1.60, or a misprint?

There is no O.S. Max 1.60 FX "ABL" engine. The O.S. Max 1.60 FX engine is ringed with a steel liner. Tower's ad people got some info wrong when they made up the ad in their catalog.
