- No - save the money. Your first engine is going to be in front of
- your first trainer and you can expect to be stuffing it into the
- ground/pavement a few times. While the .46 is a nice engine you won't
- need the power. In addition - failure to properly apply after run
- oil to the .46 will ruin it. The bushing .40 won't rust up.
