IF you ever had to overhaul a Burtz engine, I fully expect they would be cheaper to rebuild. Everything would be the same - rebore, pistons, regrind the crankshaft, rings, cam gears, cam shaft etc but the bearings would be cheaper. Just buy a set if inserts with no need for pouring Babbitt bearings and line boring them.
From what I have heard, it sounds unlikely anyone would be able to wear one of these beauties out in a single lifetime. I'm going to have a good go at it though.
