cant wait to see part 2

 

thanks for the post. very good read

 

Until what?

 

I just picked up the "Part 2" at Barnes & Noble. I can't wait to get home and read it.

 

OOh, then scan and post it for us!

 

+1 interested in the 2nd part aswell.

 

yes please post it!

 

first article was great cant wait for the second on

 

For the time a reputable company tore it down to give a good comparison between the two motors..

 

Ah, fair enough. I just wasn't sure what you were implying initially. I thought you were gonna be like one of those guys who were gonna say something like, "see, I told you guys it won't be as strong as the 4g63," or some crap like that. I actually thought that the article was a bit strange, as they didn't really comment on many of the strong points of the motor, but rather just focused on all the potential weak points. Now granted they haven't looked at the bottom end yet, which AMS and TT both have looked at and said that it's actually stronger than the 4g63 (internals, not the block). So, perhaps the second part to this review will be more positive as they get deeper into the motor. But, then again perhaps the focus of the review is, in fact, to focus on the weak points rather than the strengths, perhaps for the sake of them pointing out what they are going to "fix," so to speak. We'll see I guess. BTW, they are incorrect about one thing though, and that is that the block is NOT an open deck, it's a semi-closed deck. There's a huge difference between the two.
