No they're pretty much completely diifferent animals, the timings are different, and if I remember correctly the bore and strokes are different. Like James I had similar experiences with the Mac as I ran one at one time. My experience with it showed that it's NOT for the novice boater. Across the powerband it was real finicky, either it ran as a missle, or it didn't run at all. This proved true with pulling the pipe out, mixture adjustments, etc, etc. Don't get me wrong, they are fast if you can find that sweet spot, but I never found it. About the best and only one that I've seen run consistantly was Joe Kneseck's on a purple Lynx in Atlanta.Hi,
So the CMB is the same os MAC?
Can you find interior photos of the CMB and MAC to see the diferences.......

On the otherhand the CMB's pto used to be a big issue back in the day when they stacked the bearings and the housing used to wear out and it would start sucking air. Since the more recent motors have come out(late greenhead version, and in the current RS), I haven't had any issues nor heard of anyone with issues, and thus far (knock on wood), no broken cranks.
But all that said, I'm gonna stick with my 1st suggestion, take the villain with the OS and go out and have FUN, learn a few things, and then worry about going fast.
