Bill,
Have you ever looked at the Gene Berg Enterprises web site?

www.geneberg.com

Do you know HOW many T1 engine and T4 engine are running around "hopped up"
and live a long life?  If the engine is BUILT for the power it makes, it can
handle it and live a long life.

So, tell me, What did I do to shorten the engines life??

Was it the:
Counterweighted crank?
Or maybe the Full race balancing?
Maybe the ceramic coatings?
Could it be the match porting of the intake, exhaust and oil pump?
Or the Blueprinting of the engine?
The use of STRONGER than stock parts?
The use of a transmission that REDUCES the RPMs for a given speed?? Did this
shorten the engines life?
Or any of the other parts used to make it run better? Have they shortened the
engines life?
All NEW German bearing, seals, head bolts, flywheel bolts?
The new FI parts?

I know, maybe the new ECU chip that I am planning to put on, this is it right?
The one that will make the engine run better and cooler.

What?? So Tell me What??

Robert
