[NSRCA-discussion] Engines

You should be able to rebuild that engine until the world ends. 

Another good engine is the 140FZ, very friendly.

All:
Looking for opinions here.  I've been flying a 
Piedmont sport that tips the scales at 9# even.  Powering it with a Y.S. 
1.20 FS, and it's now 20 years old.  Runs fine, but maybe not 
forever.  It turns an APC at 8800+ and offers plenty of 
performance.
Question:  Is there anything else on the 
market that offers comparable performance?
This is probably the most user-friendly  
engine I've ever used; not moody, always easy starting, runs at a repeatable 
setting every time, (1-1/4 turns out on the main needle) and I'm wondering if 
there is anything else out there that can match this performance/ease of 
use?
Thanks.  BTW: Opinions are O.K.; I realize 
these things are highly subjective and anecdotal, and subject to individual 
viewpoints.
