I find it fascinating (euphemistically speaking) that every time someone mentions anything other than a Lyc on this *alternative engines* page, there's a flurry of activity from Lyc users relating the one instance of something they heard about that makes whatever product mentioned the very thing that will cause a rapid slow death for everyone in a 10 mile radius.
If us alt engine guys did this every time there was a Lyc failure, you wouldn't be able to find anything else on the Lyc page.
Anecdotes do not define a product. I've got my own story about Franklin, too. But the months spent trying to get it working correctly were caused by using incorrect parts in the overhaul (by an A&P); not by the engine itself.
Want to hear a few Lyc stories? Are you willing to assign the same weight (condemning the entire product line) to those stories that you assign to all the 'alternative' products? If so, you need to find a new hobby, 'cause flying a Lyc will kill you quick.
