You don't obviously,but operators do.. Let's put it in this way, when looking for a dependable radial engine, Ash engines (or their Chinese copies) are the last ones I would hope to find between me and the prop..

That can only result from the production then, as the ash82 and the bmw801 are the results of the same patents bought from the americans in the med thirties.
As the allison v1710 and the Klimov wk107 are the results of a 1935 sold bmw patent, btw.

They're Russian aren't they? I thought # 7 piston used to seize on 801s once and a while too. I wouldn't like that too much.
