Engine Longevity? - Page 6 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Even if what @Tcoat said wasn't true (and I'm definitely not saying it isn't), I wonder if our twins and any other Subaru or Porsche would still have been popular had owners had to flip the pistons every 50k miles. Hell, I wonder if any of them would have existed had people been told to flip pistons on the original VW Bug.

You're right; it's all in the sequencing!

In fact I have an idea for an engine where everything rotates all the time. I bet it would be foolproof, never leak or have oil issues and would last forever. I am going to call Mazda and see if they like the idea for this kind of engine. Thought of it while watching porn so think I will call it a Jerkel, or Fappel or something like that.

Old radial engines went through an evolutionary phase exactly like that. Crankshaft was the fixed point. The cylinders and prop rotated.

It was a teaching moment in aviation history.

Jackel, Strokel, Chokel, Spankel, Burpel or Fingel engine.

lol spankel

Considering the Wankel engine was originally of German origin, we could ask someone at VW named Hans Jerkov to design Tcoat's Jerkel motor.

Guess I went to Commonwealth on you guys with that one.

wank
predominantly British term for masturbation

Buffing the Banana
Holding Your Sausage Hostage
Jackin' the Beanstalk
Rounding up the Tadpoles
Slap Boxing the One-Eyed Champ
Spank the Frank
Applying the hand brake
Attacking the one-eyed purple-headed warrior
Auditioning the finger puppets
Beef-stroke-it-off
Boxing the bald champ
Charming the snake
Checking for testicular cancer
Choking Kojak
Squeezing the cream from the flesh Twinkie
Straddle your paddle
Taking matters into your own hands
Teasing the weasel
Thumping the pump
Tickling the pickle
etc etc

Spamanddumbfuckery crew.

Just how many posts of guys guessing (yes, guessing) that it will last anywhere from 1 to 1,000,000 miles do we need?

A better question would be "How could it not?"
