And your supposed to run it hard from the get go eh ?
WOW.... now if they just put ball bearings in everything instead of babbitt bearings the engine bottom ends would last as long as the top ends !
that is amazing... thanks for the info Danno I don't think I would have believed that from anyone else, that is so wild ! hard to believe they have come so far in such a short time !
....
and just in time to run out of gasoline too ! LOL
.... I've always felt that if the manufacturers wanted to they could make a engine to last 500k miles .. but you can's sell parts if you make them indestructible ! they want more re-sales ! why sell 2 cylinders to a guy when you could sell him 6 ...right ? LOL
so I would imagen they upped the price to cover the cost of 6 normal cylinders and they win all the way around !
..... all in all I prefer the indestructible part myself ... LOL

....
