    Engine Dilema

    I think, if I was in your shoes, I'd go for the 1776, having had one before (when I lived in the outer Hebrides) and the 1776 was a vast improvement, however I had a good chat with my engine builder and ended up with a completely different setup, with external oil cooler and filter and twin...
