Tecumseh L Head compared to Tecumseh OHV SnowKings

I'm trying to get a sense of the differences between the Tecumseh L head and the Tecumseh OHV Snowking engines.
From what I garnered from this forum I think that the L heads have historically been pretty bullet proof and trouble free over the long haul. However there's not as much posted about the Tecumseh OHV Snowkings.
From personal experience I had a 5hp Ariens that came with a Tecumseh and it was trouble free for 20 years. My 11.5hp Ariens has a Tecumseh OHV Snowking and it seems to be a very smooth running engine but I don't know how it should be expected to hold up. Are there any known issues with it? If so I'd be inclined to buy replacement parts now while they are readily available.
