    Win the Lottery Steve, then adopt me!!!!! Those CRT's are bad to the bone. If I win, I'll adopt you. I have been watching them since last year when I saw them on Screamandfly.com They are pretty impressive with their versatility.

    How many hours of run time do you get with that before you have to rebuild it?

    They haven't said positively but I figure around 200 depending on how it's driven. The neat thing is they have replaceable cylinders which can be done without having to press them in and purchased in various porting configurations!

    I'm not sure what you mean by = to unless yer talking about ring life??? These CRT engines are totally different from anything out there yet use the very same internals and externals as the 2.5 Merc! They are not Cast Alum, they're machined from Billet Alum. with replaceable cyl sleeves and also interchangeable compression domes for the heads.
