Chinese engines, feedback if you have experience

[roland stockham]

Hi all looking at repowering and on a tight budget so considering a chinese brand. I have sen some general posts but want to here from anyone with direct experience of Quanchai brand engines (thats the engine base unit) or specifically the HF-385H or HF marine engines in general. Any problems with reliability or spares? and quality issues? Please limit the thread to direct experience of Chinese marine diesel engines rather than Chinese manufacturing in general, thanks
