The engine on the right is a vintage probably more than 20 years old look at the size of the crankshaft compared to the one on the left and the ones from now those back then they were made last in my opinion

Oh ok so in your opinion which is better to be the stronger built seem it would be the best option but I’m sure there is more to it …. Omg I am so glad you are ok for lack of better word
