Since the vanguard has metric bolts and nuts, what is the country of oragin for this engine?  After reading the MADE IN CHINA thread it makes me wonder.      Thanks   johnboy

I just think they are CAST overthere for B&S to ASSEMBLE to their specs. If I recall....back in the middle to late 90's, B&S sold its foundry and now outsources castings.
