Deejay, I gather Redeye wants to use this for serious commercial service, and as far as I can tell, "ordinary" grade Hondas may last longer in that service than "ordinary" grade Briggs. It may be a different story when you look at commercial Briggs models, made in the US with the iron cylinder liner etc. All I can say about the idea of using a Powertorque for heavy duty commercial service, is good luck. That comment does not apply to the old full-crank Victa 2 strokes of course.
