A quick Google search yielded this info on the engine used in the

Ok, I'm a little embarassed that I couldn't find that info myself.

Is a reduction gearbox seen as a reliability problem, or isn't that

I don't think anyone really knows the reliability of this engine and

It's been around almost twenty years now!
