RE: New Irvine 53 from OS
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.
