Technicians answer: To teach consumers to perform preventative maintenance Consumers answer: To keep auto shops busy Automotive Engineers answer: To get a small engine to deliver the power and performance of a large engine while reducing emissions and improving gas mileage
the idea of closer tolerances is due to preformance and smog but they could have put a chain like most do now.
OK got all the answers. It's still as clear as Mud!! There's a lot of cars out there that get very good mileage, perform well, have low emissions, and non interference engines. I never claimed to be a genius, maybe I'm just stupid, and you can't fix that. Thanks for all the answers!!
I HEAR YOU AND I AM IN THE SAME BOAT!! AND I WORK ON THEM FOR A LIVING AND HAVE BEEN DOING IT FOR A HELL OF A LONG TIME! BUT I STILL DON'T KNOW THE ANSWER TO YOUR QUESTION.
wetry I like you, you're OK in my book!!!
Wetry is ok in my book too, if I wasnt a technician I would let him fix my cars. I would even buy a Honda!
I HAVE NOTHING AGAINST HONDA IN FACT I THINK IT IS A FINE CAR. I JUST WONDER WHY SOME MAKES ARE INTERF. AND OTHERS ARE NOT WITH EQUAL PERFOFMANCE IN EVERY WAY! BUT THIS COULD GO ON & ON SO I GIVE UP.
Hey! Which 'book' do those guys have? P.S. I work on Hondas , but I've said it before , I'll BUY a Toyota!
I HAVE OWNED ABOUT A BUNCH OF AUTO'S AND TO TELL THE TRUTH IF I TREATED THEM RIGHT,THEY ALL DID A FINE JOB.
FELIX WANKEL WOULD DISAGREE. IF HE COULD.
Have you ever seen the converter set-up on a rotory engine? Insane for the actual displacement.Alex , I'll take answer #3- Engineers are catering to what the public is being 'programmed' for, POWER- and for that you must sacrifice something. I believe it was ferrari , back in the '70s had a near zero-emissions V12 , but it had no lower-end torque power band was somewhere starting over 7000RPM red line around 13K. All valve train related , no smog controls (EGR , A.I.R. ,or converters).
