If you're right, that puts this option on a different level for rebuilds or replacement.
Honestly I do. Remember "factory reliability" means precision engineering and a massive amount of of number crunching to ensure that the *majority* of the engines do not fail before the end of the warranty period. The Germans are exceptional at this and it's clear in the choice of materials used in a lot of components that longevity beyond warranty was not even on the list, much less at the top of it.

Alusil motors usually hold up pretty well. I would make the assumption that Steve brought the knowledge with him to the new business to bore/hone/expose these properly. I don't think any of these as per the posted specs would be on the ragged edge of reliability, most of it seems reasonable.
