Last fall I pulled the jugs off  my Skyote's C-90-8F (stuck ring, and guides needed reamed) and I found  one of the cam followers had a wedding-ring fracture at the socket end.    I decided to have the engine overhauled by a good shop, but found that for  virtually the same price, I could get a brand-new Mattituck TMX  O-200 (although it is an Experimental engine, it is built up from the latest  Continental certified parts).  

  

 It came with all the recent factory  production improvements (removable pushrod housings, new upper cylinder design)  and  beautiful new certified accessories including a light-weight starter,  60 Amp Alternator, Vacuum Pump drive assembly,  new Precision Carb  (complete with new airbox and filter) and new Slicks.  The shipping crate  had an all-plywood cover, and is better looking than most of my  furniture.  The price was 17K, with NO core required.   I will  slowly rebuild the C-90 as a learning process.  

  

 The Mixture Arm configuration was set  up for side-to-side actuation, and my particular installation made the  fore-and-aft arm the preferred type.  I emailed Mahlon to find out  where I could buy the alternate arm, and a couple days later the desired  hardware just showed up in my mail.

  

 I would recommend Mattituck for anyone  considering a new engine.  My experience with them could not have been  better.  Mahlon Russell should be considered a national  treasure.

I support your view. My purchase of a TMX IO-540  went without a hitch. Mahlon has given terriffic support, beyond expectation.  Thanks Mahlon.
