Tue, 06 May 2003 12:17 mrshin wrote on Tue, 06 May 2003 21:31 Hell yeah, if Bill Gates was funding it, I'd run my car on nitromethane too ...and replace my aluminium conrods after 6 seconds of stress. I take no issue with big capacity engines per se, however I do take issue with their design. These engines were built as a simple way of getting more power. They merely enlarged their poorly designed smaller engines. Terrible ports, crappy combustion chambers, uninspired manifolds, long stroke motors are all the product of cheap mass engineering of yesteryear when "bigger" really was "better". To purport that these engines are the pinnacle of engineering excellence beggars belief and mocks the incredible gains of the last 20 odd years that have made powerful, reliable, multivalve, multicam engines standard household fare.
