Ok I thought id do a review post on a kit I bought recently (last thursday)
VENDOR:
Enginesonlineshop.com
This is the second motor kit I've bought from this vendor, both times have been an absolute pleasure, I got several confirmation emails and tracking numbers within a day. They ship for free and its fedex, so its fast. Kit matches exactly what the picture showed. No shenanigans.
ENGINE:
This is the best looking and highest quality engine I've seen so far. Looks great with no cheesy silver spray paint. No stuck bolts on the cases either! I pulled the head/jug with my typical pre-run checkup and found zero manufacturing errors. I stupidly forgot to take pictures, but it consisted of the standard low piston pin piston, which does slightly block the intake at TDC. The connecting rod was really nice, with bold and easy to read markings saying something like, "FS80" The real improvements I saw where in the castings however, the transfer ports were really clean and the intake / exhaust needed hardly any clean up. Moreover many of the surfaces of the cases / the matting surface of the cylinder head where MACHINED :O! They looked similar to a billet head but with tiny ridges. However the combustion chamber of the head was still rough aluminum. The head is the highest compression I've seen yet, and was perfectly flat on a piece of glass. It had pretty standard m8x1.0 head studs with slightly crappy (but tall for plenty of clearance) acorns. All replaced w/ high tensile. Upon inspection of the magneto I realized that it did not have a white wire, which I think is an improvement. The little bung that seals the wires sucked big time and keeps falling out. The cases were drilled for one of the screw variety of bung but china QC completely gazed over that one...Engine seals look good and it has sealed bearings by the sprocket. Also came with a uncommon clutch cable type which hits the carb with a MM intake.
I coud keep talking but ill save you and show you pics... (custom mount in pics was made by me not by china)
Here you can see one machines surface outside the bearing:
