Default OS engines

I'm told by good source that OS engines are a good bet, relyable with a good life span,



On a performace scale of 1 to 5 what will this be?

the V-spec in that pic is a 3 port engine

don't let the low port count put you off as these are a very good engine, very linear power delivery & will keep pulling to a good high topend
very good on fuel too, these will do the magic 10 minutes on a tank!

there is 1 problem with them tho, the rear bearing they come with aint good so either fit a ceramic or a Picco rear bearing & you're good to go

as for lifespan - variable - is probably the best word

I'm getting a better vibe from this than I've got from the GO engines.

Yeah - I see.

I'm going to visit my LHS tomorrow, not to buy, just to see what goes down.

It'll be interesting to see what they want to sell me.
