YS SCs from HE double hockey sticks

[Dean Pappas]

Bill,
You're absolutely right, but that year, an SC with a worked #0600 piston was the high-horsepower ticket!
Of course, the technology move relentlessly on.

	Having also fought with a 120SC for 2 years, I finally concluded that, after the factory couldn't make it run, it was a lost cause.  They admitted to me it was a turkey; I traded it to them for a 1.40FZ and life immediately got better.
	Should a person have to spend ~$500 for an engine, and then be forced to modify it to make it run?
	Particularly, when those mods aren't general knowledge?  I really struggle with that.

		An SC with a plain-bucket piston and four head-gaskets ran beautifully, and was strong too.
		All you had to do was dremel an 1/8" off the front skirt of the piston.

			It took quite a while for me to learn the details of dealing with the YS engines. However, now that I am there, I have no interest in any airplane that is unsuitable for a YS140. 
			When a YS is running right it leaves nothing to be desired in my book. 
			 
			PS: Don't ever confuse as YS-120SC with a real YS. I believe they were part of a nearly successful terrorist plot!

					    I need some help guys. Im really having trouble deciding what motor to put in my new Focus 2 for this year. Please folks put aside your YS / OS feuding. I would just like to know the best engine from all your experience. Performance, reliability, and ease of use. Dads willing to spend the money so no problems there. Haha. And I know all the engines are very nice engines, so what is the best engine / pipe / header / head / bearing / fuel / anything else combination?
					 
					Thanks in advance!
