IIUC - In principle whenever possible the engine attempts to run at the ignition advance target set by the ECU (lets say its 32 degree stock). If you run high octane fuel at cool temps then the engine can spend the maximum time at 32 degrees without activating the anti knock system...compared to using low octane fuel with hot IAT when the anti knock system will be almost permanently retarding and advancing the ignition to keep it at boundary knock...clearly a far less desirable condition. Add a tune which raises the ECU ignition target ensures that the motor will spend even more time at boundary knock. If long term low level damage due to elevated combustion pressures was occurring then it would be during this boundary knock condition. Last edited by SenorFunkyPants; 06-23-2015 at 03:20 PM.. |

Do remember it is a service manual and therefore a Honda reman manual and not one that is used by the factory. I also cropped it out but the procedure calls for plastigage which obviously can't measure a tenth. The procedure states reference the size markings, find the correct bearing (which is essentially within a tenth), then verify with plastigage. The verification with plastigage alone may explain why they have you verify against such a large range. Finally none of those listings you just posted are high output, high revving engines, or anything that closely matches the characteristics of the S65. I'm sure I can go digging for some diesel that specs out .004 but that doesn't really prove much. Last edited by WhatsADSM; 06-23-2015 at 04:01 PM.. |

However I do also question the ionic system used for the S65. Ionic sensing is used, but not all that frequently, by OEMs but I believe it was BMW's first venture into the domain. The general concept is certainly proven and sound, however it is a fairly complex system with new hardware circuitry (high speed current conditioning and measurement) along with new software (real-time time-domain analysis if the ionic current signal). I certainly believe that, in general, it works well however I'm certainly not convinced that its infallible especially if this was BMW/Siemens first major system with it. I don't think that all of the wear we are seeing is from long term detonation as we would likely see other signs of wear in the other parts of the engine and on the plugs. However it wouldn't surprise me that it had some contribution. Is there any data that suggests there are more failures in areas with lower octane fuel? |

A few did. I didn't crop anything, the whole post is there. If he's talkng about be newer cars he should've been more specific. You guys are hear arguing the minimalist detail and you jump in when I correct a post. Please.

You'll bash the clearance theory but your theory has even less evidence. Not even a shred of empirical evidence. No, people thinking they are hearing pinging is not evidence. These engines make so many noises people can't even tell rod knock from the myriad valvetrain noises. |

Then of course there's that pesky other thing he doesn't want to talk about...and you hit on it yourself. There is no evidence of detonation on any of the other engine parts: rods, pistons, ring lands, bearing shell bottoms, etc. |

I had to google what detonation looks like, carnage! Now I don't know the magnitude between "light" and "mega" detonation, but it definitely will kill our motors during high load situation, which is all the time

"Could using low octane fuel be a factor in what looks like excessive wear...the S65 engine does come with a anti knock ignition system." The reply was: "Well, generally speaking, when you see heavy, accelerated wear on the upper rod bearings, the cause is detonation. You can still see the machining marks on the lower shells and I see no signs of abrasive wear caused by contaminated oil." So yes I told Clevite that the S65 had an anti knock ignition system yet they still replied as above. For whatever reason shortly after, according to RG, they apparently adopted a new position where detonation was impossible . Last edited by SenorFunkyPants; 06-24-2015 at 04:59 AM.. |

The number of engine failures reported on m3post (that I have reliable details for) is relatively small so the best you can hope for is a general trend. CAN/USA (non S/C) cars. The most striking trend is that over a quarter of cars with engine failures have a history of being tracked. There are more failures in hot climates than cool relative to sales numbers as best as can be ascertained. This applies equally to the ROTW. California cars used to be a peak in failures (relative to sales) but this has eased back. A car tracked in a hot climate appears to be the highest risk. If you start from the position that its all about a tight bearing clearance and too thick oil...then what is the prediction for failures and engine wear? Would you not expect the highest failure rate in cool climates? As the man from Clevite said: "If the clearance was too tight, I'd not expect it to run 50k miles". So if the S65 blueprint spec for rod bearing clearance was too tight how are cars reaching 200K miles, in fact how are any cars even getting past 50K miles. Why isn't the failure rate accelerating, surely by now with a third of cars being 6 years old with ever increasing higher mileages it should be carnage with blown up motors littering the streets.

Awww bless you....you really took my rebuff of your crushing on me pretty bad. How about I get you a present to make up for it. There is a new aftershave called 'Stalker' for men. It's very much like 'Obsession', but a bit stronger. Last edited by SenorFunkyPants; 06-24-2015 at 08:01 AM.. |

I am coming up eight years this September. But I have only 53k km.In fact I came across a car that was built before mine ... July '07. So there you go. But despite the age, the Australian cars are of low mileage compared to ROTW.

The part I like best is trying to masquerade his own stalking obsession behavior by accusing the other guy of being an obsessed stalker. Straight out of Alinsky's book "Rules for Radicals." I guess what he really wants is to spread misinformation without being challenged, and anybody who challenges him is now an "obsessed stalker." There's just so many emotionally fragile people around here that fall apart anytime somebody asks them for proof. So sorry you got so beat up over the weekend. I'll send you a box of chocolates and tissue papers so you can sit in front of the TV and watch reruns of Little House on the Prairie. Maybe that will cheer you up.

Why not go for a spin in your M3 and chill...oh wait you can't, you still haven't managed to put it all back together again yet, oh well another 4 years should see it done. Maybe go and measure some stuff, that normally calms you down. |

Just curious if you're going to offer this forum an apology for the last few rounds of getting caught making your stories up? I'm guessing you won't. You'll just keep on with your obsessive stalking and story telling everywhere you can. |

He's so butt hurt that he keeps getting caught falsifying information. Definitely not the brightest bulb in the box. I didn't used to think he was as dishonest as YS, but with his latest round of getting caught, I now think their levels of deception are equal to each other. YS's deceptions are usually related to data falsifications, and SFP's deceptions are usually personal. But they're about the same now in my mind.
