However, in engineering, there's this stress analysis called cycles to failure. Honda motors rev pretty high, and go through more cycles than others.
true my friend, but what kind of torque output do you see on those high revving engines?
again, me being bitter. i mean look at the accord v6 engine...GREAT engine with tons of reliability, but compared to other V6's with the same size, they still have relatively low torque output.
