My older Syncro has 195 kmi. on it and I screw it tight everytime , all the time. Lugging a modern engine is what will sound its death knell, not winding it up. It's something like this. You're standing in front of a pallet of bricks which have to be moved to the top of a building to finish a chimney. Now, what is going to pop your hernia out of its hiding place, carrying the bricks to the roof 2 at a time or all at once? The work done is the the same, it's the rate (as in bricks per trip up the ladder) of doing the work that makes the difference. Rich |
