Replacement Stator

[uncledj]

  Nope.   I don't need a stator, at least not yet.

  I was thinking of getting a replacement stator / gasket to keep handy in case of failure, which seems to sometimes happen, and usually at a bad time.

  I see there's stators readily available online, but prices are all over the map.

  What should I look for and what should I avoid?

  Opinions appreciated.

I would stay away from the high output stators, I put one in my first 1999 venture. I replaced the engine after only about 10,000 miles and when I checked the stator it had burned half of the stator, looked as bad as the one that I replaced with at least 70,000 miles on it. Higher output equals more heat.
