I have Brazilian ones that have been working fine for me.

Old engines that have sat for a long time will often smell more that 
ones that have been run regularly. Part of that is ring sealing, 
which may have to break in again, but I think most of it is oil that 
has migrated to spots it never would have gotten to on a regularly 
used engine.
