If you need one right now, buy it, and keep your eye open for a better one, resell the knock off when you can replace it.

I haven't had any experience with the knock off engines, but they prob work ok for at least a while... Another 10 years & that company will be cranking out DOHC VVT automobile engines;)

Boy, that "looks" like a Honda engine....... I have heard that OEM parts will even fit some of the knock-offs. My only concern is the quality of the pump assy., I would guess it would last alot longer if you were pumping cleaner water.
