Default Winch Engine Broken

Hello from Japan,

Let me ask for your advice on Tost Engine replacement.
Our TOST 2 drum winch engine (type: Olds 455 Bigblock) blew out last week
and it looks we need to replace it with spare engine.

If anyone know where to search second-hand engine which may fit, our club
appreciates to hear any info.

Unfortunately our club can't afford to buy new one from TOST or Skylaunch,
let us know your idea about any cost-saving option...


Due to lack of forum or good network of glider in Japan, let us seek for
support from UK!

Best,
Ueda


Try Ebay, I found 2 Olds 455 complete engines for sale plus a complete rebuilt kit.
