Older Engine Power Figures

Why do you want to access the camshaft on a usual service? I can understand it for OHC Engines, as these have belts in Automation and neet Beltchanges. But the Pushrods have Chains... you dont need that much of service for them.

I suppose so, but when something eventually goes horribly wrong than the costs can be much higher...

Point is, the chains barely break down, if I understand correctly from pyrlix. The chance on even having to replace a chain over a belt every 80K kilometres or that it snaps is lower.

[09webbad]

Yeah... just a thought...

[Daffyflyer]

Yup, and the tiny short chains on pushrod motors are even more unkillable I believe, service costs are cheap as even for things like adjusting valve clearances you just pop the valve cover off, no cam in the way. No belt that requires replacing every 100,000km or what have you.

It's a good one, yes! Marketing can be ridiculous at times... and as long as everybody plays along people even like it hehe.
