I don't feel so bad when I think of those puppies as investments.  I
managed to get dealer cost for the pair, but saved only $100 (dealers
make zip on them).  They're chronically back-ordered; OHC units are
rare (especially 14V) and over a grand each.  If you sell your Europa
and buyer don't want 'em, part 'em out and they'll sell easy.

Don't forget also that the Rotax vacuum pump gear kit is well over
$400.
