    SAIC Fiat and Neveco manufacture the engines in China, I saw a Roamer advertised with Iveco/Fiat Cursor 770s. I don't know anything about these engines and have not been able to find a review of them. Does anyone know if they are good engines?

    Thank you, a very informative thread on lack of support for these engines in the US.

    I had heard that non original engines made in China under other Countries licensing would not have warranty outside of China.

    Tough engines, just thin on support.
    A good tech should be able to work on them and support from a remote shop. Still not ideal but doable if needed.
    I'm sure Fish & Clovehitch could offer support.

    This would be way above my pay grade or understanding.
    But, you have to remember, Perkins engines were built in 6 different foundries all over the world...... For a while,,,, in China.
    World wide, still great engines no mater where from.
