An $8,000 Question

[Massive Type IV]

Thats easy..

The 2L TI has a Chinese crankshaft, sand cast aluminum case made also in a 3rd world country and about every other part of the same quality (or lack thereof)

Comparing that 2L TI engine to a sL TIV engine isn't even in the same spectrum- I said that building the two engines EQUALLY would cost the same and I wasn't talking about HP wise....

Crappy TI parts that were only getting worse (and of course cheaper AND worse) were the main reason why I stepped away from the TI foundation.
