I really didn't like them initially until I figured out their break in procedures and prop sizes. Once these engines needed parts it became increasingly difficult . Ebay sure lent itself to the Norvel users but that too dried up. Engine costs have soared so much that it almost made it so you wouldn't want to use them. This led me back to the swap meets. Unfortunately though, it appears that Ebay sets the precedent for most sellers to base their prices on. In any event, I hope engines didn't change much and that parts will still interchange. Ken
