Hello group

I keep hearing story after story about Continental engines 
breaking.  First, the oil pump drive pin shears, then a number of broken 
crankshafts.  I'm only a few months away from ordering my power plant and 
these discussions are causing me to worry.

Is Continental ever going to get it right?  When's the last time you heard 
of a car engine breaking the crankshaft?  Not that I plan on using a car 
engine but these Cont's dying all the time give me cause for great concern.

Comments, opinions???

Best regards,

D.C. Cox   (90% down and hopefully only 50% to go)
