James,
I for one would like to hear all of your reasons for changing over. 200
hours experience lend weight to your observations.
Thanks,

I ran the Sube EJ-22 on my Rebel for about 200 hours and am now converting
to a Lyc 0-320 (for a lot of different reasons the least of which was the
reliability of the Sube engine itself). That being said, I have spent a lot of
time on the Sube yahoo chat groups and everything I read about Ram
engines has been positive up until a friend of mine had the EA-81 on his Kitfox
rebuilt by RAM. He now has a total of about 3 hours on a total of 3 rebuilds.
Something is fundamentally wrong with his engine now and his issues start
with the rebuild done by RAM (they forgot to torque the heads which resulted
in overheating/blown head gaskets).
I've never dealt with RAM so I don't have any personal experience but I do
think there is a point at which they are trying to get too much HP out of the
EA-81.
