But hey, keep up the selective deceptions, William, just as you did when I
was warning about Ficht & just as with Ficht when they fold you'll be
run away william again. As for your other deception that E-Tec is the
3rd biggest selling OB last year that's typical of all your marketing BS
look at the numbers, what?? even with your deceptive claiming of not yet
delivered engines you have no numbers at all.

As for the reasons they'll fail?? the same as I told you in 98-99 for
Ficht, not enough actual injection pressure, poor atomisation & lean
mixture heat buildup which leads to full detonation then the engine
switches to "normal" mixture & gets full mixture. (I'll ping the
lubrication or lack thereof separately:-))

By the way the article extracts pasted below have fallen for the E-Tec
marketing BS about high melting point pistons (what a total joke that
is!!!), long long before anything melts in there the engine is in
catastrophic detonation, the remains are melted that's true but what
killed it was detonation at power. If a fuel mixture sees much more than
260C it auto ignites "normal" aluminium doesn't look like melting till
well over double that temp.

Pasted extract, so even marketing Willy can see I was right all those
years ago;

"develop more pressure (up to 700 psi) than the Ficht solenoid (500
psi), and, secondly, the polarity of the coil can be reversed, allowing
for better control of the piston and a quicker plunger return. This
allows for higher engine rpm, as more fuel can be delivered in a shorter
period of time. The Ficht system relies solely on a spring to return the
piston"

"Lean-burn technology has its limitations. Here’s why: A lean mixture
burns very hot. Under lean-burn conditions, once an engine reaches a
speed and load factor that generates too much heat for the cooling
system to handle, cylinder-head temperatures can rise to the point where
pistons melt and heads are damaged, and where cylinder-wall scoring is
inevitable."

Appreciate the detailed explanation, K. What I don't understand is why
Bill continues spruiking for these companies when so many folks have
been hurt by folks like him saying, "what, me worry." I honestly think
he doesn't understand that he'd get even more respect if he'd come clean
about Ficht & E-Tec.
