    not the old 195 gxv 140 engine
    the domestic is the hru19 plastic cover gcv160 engine
    then the197/217 are rated light commercial plastic cover same as the hru19 but cast iron bore gsv 190 engine
    and the 196/216 rated commercial metal cover gxv 160 engine

    saying this 1 of my 197's is on it's 3rd chassis and another is on it's 2nd
    Anything Ian says may or may not be garbage, it may also be his own opinion or it may not be his opinion at all, it may just be something he felt like stating anyone following his advice does so at their own risk and may be doing something Ian would actually advise against.
    And if you don't like what Ian has to say use the ignore function if you don't know how ask i will gladly tell you
