As Reed's replacing the engines with newer engines it probably won't be a problem for him. Of course not everyone has the skills or time to do that.

- afandian 6y agoI'm not imagining a good-faith law here. To draw a parallel, and I don't know how things work in the states, in Europe the CE mark is only valid when the equipment is installed in the approved way. I did this for a boat once (including a brand new engine), and the relevant regulation is the Recreational Craft Directive. To get a boat legal to sell, you need to perform a relevant declaration, reference to the correct EU regulations and their localised translation into law, pay someone qualified to prepare the paperwork and translate the regulations ... a nightmare of paperwork and very expensive. I'm not suggesting any bad-faith legistlation in the Recreational Craft Directive, I fully support very progressive environmental regulations, and not drawing the parallel too too closely... But if you did want to curtail people's freedoms through regulation paperwork, there are all kinds of places you could hide a gotcha. Off the top of my head: - How about the energy efficiency of the whole power train? - Approved lubricants. - Annual energy efficiency certification of the whole vehicle from an approved organisation.
