Thanks for that link, very interesting. Lots of other engines too, some old, bedford for example.
I import a lot of stuff from china and quality can be an issue, but can be managed. However these guys seem to have done more in the respect of quality than most, ISO9002 hardness tests etc.
How comfortable were they with you making a small order?

"what sort of stuff do you import from china???"
I import lathes, mills, tools and accessories along those lines. I have a website, but won't plug it here. PM me if you really want to know

I was right!I just knew a forged crankshaft would be a pirate one made in China.Do they forge money as well?
