wouldn't be the first time someone tried to dodge a "if you need to ask you probably can't afford it" answer, without spending an hour googling and reading for the answer.

That's how every place is probably going to be, the only way to get a warranty is by getting an engine rebuild.

I tell everybody to do this because it caused nothing but unnecessary labor and expense to my project. I also recommend installing the larger radiator, EMS, and any other possible parts on the 13BT prior to converting to the 20B. This way it spreads out the project, and you can troubleshoot the components one at a time as you add them rather than having a complete mess of new parts like I have to deal with. BTW, I did not plan it this way. It's just that the 20B engine became available right about the time my friend pulled my 13B NA to rebuild and port it, so the 20B decision was made on the fly mid-project rather than by original design. Had I known the actual difficulty involved I would have stuck with the NA 13B.

There is no warranty on those engines because they are cheap pieces of junk that have been sitting on a dock for years. They are to be used as cores for rebuilding, not as drop-in engines.

until you hear it rip for the first time, then you will say "screw 2 rotors".

Yes, it's still for sale...although I sometimes question the wisdom of selling it.
