Not that I'm an expert but they showed little knowledge regarding inlines. Yes the press on was one issue but they had an engine that was built up compared to stock standards and they were freaking out about boost and never mentioned during the dyno about the fact that, unlike V8s each rod had its own journal or how low the static compression was, nor did they even check to see during the rebuild, or that the engine has a reputation of the bottom ends being reliable and durable. Then the whole thing with dividing the cylinders by 6 and multiplying by 8 and not taking any other engine characteristics into consideration, to me, seemed like comparing apples to some other fruit.
But it was fun to watch since they have only had a few inline builds and this was the 1st perf build I've seen. I like the way they set the turbo up. Though I am curious how the exhaust will effect the long term oil temp/viscosity since it runs right out the valves and under the pan. It also showed there is hope for my inlines to make more than 1HP/Sq in. I know it can be done...I just haven't done it yet.
God doesn't like ugly.
