CY or Zenoah

[mattc]

In your opinion what's the main difference between the CY and the Zenoah engines?

CY is a copy of the Zenoah engine,Virtually the same physically. Cy has a reputation for being a poor clone of the Zen,well that was about five years ago.The chrome plating on the bore was renowned for coming off and rendering the head usless,thus giving the mill a poor reputation.Since then CY(Chung Yang) has rectified this problem and are all good to go.
Zenoah (as users say) rev higher but I am yet to see the stats. In my opinion people go for the Zenoah because they are the original engine,people just don't like copies.I myself use mutant engines (half and half) and have not had a problem yet.Take a look at the vids in my threads and you can see they are plenty fast and reliable.

Cheers Voo, I was asking as I have a right old mixture of engines now and just wanted to clear a few things up.

I have used both of these engines in the same
car and IMO they perform identical.

Both are just fine. Like Voo, I have mutant engines as well.
