[Alpines] Alpines Digest, Vol 7, Issue 24

 You are right, Briggs and Stratton was a bad term.  These are simple "Tractor
Engines" and
way less technical than larger block or new technology.  ANy good machine shop
can handle it.

I would disagree about having a standard machine shop "rebuild" an Alpine
engine.

I would bet few ever see old engines these days.

Old cars are WAY less than 1% of the cars out there.

And fewer yet see Alpine engines.

Now here is the main part, All Alpine engines are in excess of 35 years
old.

Most have issues with cooling system corrosion.

And other issues.

MOST machine shops MAY do a descent job of what THEY do and that is the
"machine work"

An Alpine engine is NOT a Briggs and Stratton.

Anyone who treats it as such will likely send their Alpine down the path
of the majority of those that are gone.

Good luck.
