It seems for me the hardening process was choosen not right for this aplication-looks to "dry" for me. They hardened to much all the way through.
The real reason is that they feel the high speed is not enough,so just lean it till the lubricity is not enough.This engine is being developed in Taiwan and most of the Taiwanese tracks have only 60 meter backstraight. So we rather more torque than more rpm. This event let me think about maybe we should product two types engine. One is super torque another is super high rpm. The other way is install VTEC system on nitro engine.
