I already posted this on Chinariders, but I wondered if you guys in China knew anything about the Zongshen 250 engine (which I suspect is only a 229 engine).

What sort of reputation does Zongshen have over there?

Are these just the same pushrod engine as the Lifan with a bigger bore? 'Cuz that what it looks like to me.....

I'm curious because a local kid has a Giovanni 250 pit bike for sale for parts (and these come with a Zongshen engine), and I'm wondering if the engine would bolt into my GY-5, if it would last, and if it would even be worth the effort.
