Roger,

Gents, 
 
I need advice ! 
 
Shortly I will order a new Kit engine for my LNC2360 (www.n360df.com) 
 
I have got two pretty good similar offers. 
One is for titanium 360 engine and one is XP360. 10:1 Injected. 
 
They both has its good and bad I guess.... ?? 
 
It could be very nice to get others experience and if anyone have made 
a sheet for +/- I would be very happy to see. 
 
As well I would like to hear from others what the must have is. 
Like sump type, gov etc. 
 
Please help me in this important progress so I'm not ending up in a disaster again! 
 
Best regards 
Roger Iverin
