Hah, having worked in automotive, things are dysfunctional as shit. Oh, they ship things, sure, but mostly as a consequence of sheer will of plowring man-hours in thins untill they kinda work.
Curious what was your experience operating in those fields.
- ilyt 3y agoAnd here I was wondering how manufacturers can take a thing that works and make it not work in new engine version. Shit like "we did chain driven timing and it worked, but in new engine it prematurely wears", or "someone decided it is fine for belt-driven timing to take dip in oil, oh surprise, we now have parts of the belt landing in various parts of the engine". Or my favourite, "metal, belt driven water pump is almost never replaced thru the lifetime of the engine and it's cheap, let's make propellers plastic and also drive it from separate electric engine"
- sandworm101 3y agoForget chains. Gear-driven cams are best. My motorcycle had them, but honda switched to chains in the new models because cam gears made a small high-pitched noise.
