All you are repeating is a 1998 quote about 1 in 5 having failures, and yes, that was from the then president David Jones. FICHT has been around since mid 1996 and is still going strong today. That's eight years of production. The E-TEC system that has been recently introduced is what was called FICHT II back in OMC days and was scheduled to be introduced in 2003, but their financial problems took care of that. What's your point???? Bill Grannis service manager It's a boating NG Bill that's my point, people have been well ****ed lately by OT posts so here's some on topic, that's my point, it's winter there so people might like to look into this or not as they wish, that's my point. As usual you're just here to spam deceptions & as usual you try to silence anyone who posts material you think will damage sales. So you have nothing to add of a technical nature to the post?? any questions?? No?? Nothing at all??? going once, twice, third & final chance Bill?? I'll take it then thus far we're OK??, as the following threads continue please don't hesitate to comment if you wish or challenge any of the material, without your customary personal abuse of course:-) I'll suggest that if you follow this even you might be able to understand why Ficht failed & why your latest engines with higher melting point pistons, higher temp oils etc are also doomed for the same reasons. Indeed your latest offering is proof absolute we were 100% correct in the assessments given in early 98. Probably you should be concentrating on the autoignition temps I've given thus far, please check, check, & recheck everything. I will point out that garden variety aluminium, we use it here, has a "melting" point of about 660C or 1220F. So your new "special" high temp alloy pistons might be stronger, but they are an admission the fuel is autoigniting, which it definitely is by much much lower temps. As usual you get me ahead of myself, this will all be dealt with in a later thread, so read or don't as you wish. K |
