I don't know of any "soft" camshafts made by anyone.
GM, shouldn't have made the nineteen to one, from the standard passenger car's 350" small block. They failed because people including the tanker truck drivers kept put gasoline into them.

AGAIN, you fail to give me an example. What reputation?

You got arguing with a brick wall correct... I also restated that they don't pull 80 book hours every week - that week to week it varies based on their output, and that the original statement was a simplified one where I simply did some crude math. Buddy, I know mechanics that work in a dealership that make _very_ good money. If they didn't, they wouldn't be able to afford those $15,000 toolboxes and the $25,000 they invest in tools for their trade. Yeah, they're not poor... Let me say this: You're comparing apples and oranges. $20 an hour on a normal job isn't that much money. But, $20 an hour on a flat rate basis, where you get paid on book time is a world different. It's not the same... You're obviously too stupid to understand that point... -- Registered Linux user #378193 |

Geez, don't just say they had a reputation for being inferior,
without telling me what you thought was inferior? I didn't like shifting from their dash, I didn't like their little economy engines, in little bodies with fender skirts, and fish bowl appearance. They had refrigerator door handles because the big three, had the patens on all the push buttons.

ONCE AGAIN, NOT ONE EXAMPLE! I'll give you one! They had an
aluminum, steel sleeved engine which meant, like all modern engines you must change the coolant by every two years, otherwise like all engines of today electrolysis destroys the block, same with the Buick aluminum V8 engine which work perfect in the Land Rover.
