Hi Jerry,
I have thoughts on the matter, but from the perspective of a Gringo.   
Off the top of my head, the engines I've owned have been American,  
Canadian, English and Scottish.  Without exception, the European  
engines have been of superior design and workmanship.  The Euros just  
put more effort into the deal.

The Americans and the Canadians, on the other hand, cut corners in  
design and workmanship, allowing them to produce engines at a more  
economical cost.

Waddaya wanna drive, a Ferrari or a Chevy?  That's the great thing  
about a free economy:  there's something for everyone.

P.S.
Would your mum have been able to make a living selling high-quality  
grinders at 50 ZAR a pop?
