Re: Common things to go out on an eg33

These motors are extremely reliable. Usually good for plenty of miles. A few have put over 300,000 miles on their svx and many more with over 200,000. They're also widely popular for use in aircraft so that alone should tell you something.

As far as what can go wrong, only a few people have had head gaskets go but even when that happens, there usually isn't damage done if noticed and fixed right away. A few have also had spun bearings-currently my engine has a slight knock probably due to that yet still has good power. I believe someone elso on here has driven with a knocking motor for well over a year now.

Main thing is just to maintain it well.
