What I understand is that the B engine is prone to crack and maybe not such a improvement as I thought.
I'll have a look into the Burtz engine but I am afraid this will be above my budget (around 5k)
Joey - when you talk to the Burtz dealer make sure you are talking about comparable engines. The Burtz build uses a lot of parts from the old engine. If your dealer is supplying these parts with the build instead of taking them from your old engine (which would be the case in a rebuild) then you are paying for new/recycled parts you may not need.
