We got some info on this at work the other day. I dont really know what to think. Navistar/International is looking at these engines.

What say you?

 cooldude That is the kind of innovation we NEED

Subaru/Volkswagen/Honda believed in the horizontal opposed engine and Diesel just makes sense period! No moving valve train like a 2 stroke? almost too good to be true! Maybe the best idea I have seen since the Wankel (rotary)...Can it be true?

Now we just need to talk Honda into building a Valkyrie frame for that engine!!   Cheesy 

That's pretty cool.  If they can make the design work, that'd make for more power in a smaller displacement.

why do i see the 671 written all over that motor? just wait till the sleeves get warn and it starts to consume its own oil and takes off at full throttle, just like the 671s
