Sounds good boatman1069. How would you compare the fit and finish of the O.S. made Irvine to the original?

Are they available here in the USA? The 53 always sounded like a winner.
Thanks, MikeB

The finish is very good...The bearing sizes are now the same as the os50sx. the exhaust is a few millimeters smaller than the original ervine. Visualy its nearly the same apart from the carb. The colour is of a lighter red. It does seem a very nice engine but it needs some hours on it to compaire it to the originaal irvines as the original ervines had a proven track record.
