Re: Modding engines in teh future?

Re: Hondas and Suzuki motors. Thoughts?

I have asked the reason...of both gearbox manufacturers and oil cos. There was no single simple explanation...but one suggestion was that oil wore out. Not talking contamination, more the long and complex hydrocarbon molecules that determine the viscosity and other properties of the oil being 'shee...

All used to tell me when the engine oil needed changing, as the gearbox will start to get slighty notchy in changes. The Old A/C Suzuki's behaved in a...
