So in the last 5 decades how often do you hear of lifter failure, pre DOD is was pretty rare, today even if 1 out of 1,000 fail that's too much. Read too many stories guys are pushing their motors at the track and the engine develops a misfire due to lifter failure. If you never track it or push the motor you probably won't have issues. It's even a problem on Toyota and Hyundia motors, my nephew has one in the shop right now getting the motor replaced. Ben Freeman at Bentune talks of real world experience and the increase in DOD lifter failures, trucks being the major culprit. In the quest to meet government EPA regs they are building motors prone to failure. Do you think any manufacture would have DOD and AFM if there was another way of meeting guidelines. On another topic on over regulations CA better prepare themself for $8+ gasoline in 2026 because of CA regulations two more refineries are shutting down and that accounts for 20% of their gasoline usage. Another example of government over reach.
