Consistancy and reliability...
So I was talking with a few guys on the weekend and this came up. A few of the guys were saying that the tall deck mototrs are not as reliable as the short deck motors (ie 632 VS. 565). They were saying stuff like tighter clearances etc... tends to cause a short life of the bigger motors where as a 540-565 can run 150- 250 passes before freshening. I didn't think that there was any difference in reliability (unless a poor engine builder didn't have the right clearances) and that the bigger motors would be more consistant (ET wise) and more reliable (life span) because the motors would be not working as hard. Any one like to comment????
