In Russia this company became famous for itsChinese engines for motoblocks, because this is a fairly developed type of motor technology, which is universally applied. If earlier on the product it was written "produced in China", then for many Russians this caused rejection, because as a rule the Chinese rule was of poor quality. Now, on the contrary, with the growth of the Chinese market, the quality of products has significantly increased, while the price of the goods is still very acceptable.

It is important to remember that if the mounts do not match, then they will have to be altered independently.
The next important characteristic is theThe power of the engine, which is usually measured in terms of horsepower. The most common universal motors for motoblocks have a capacity of 6.5 horsepower.
