Default Re: Durability opinions?

Like 'Yote said, the torque range is the key to performance and longevity expectations in all engines.
If a guy was to monitor an engines emissions and performance in both stationary and mobile duties, he could clearly see why stationary duty is much more conducive to engine life.
Once a stationary engine is dialed in under load, not much changes inside the combustion chamber or the crank case.
Of course, in a motor vehicle app, from 750 rpms to 5K rpms....constantly under change...in a nasty state of turmoil.....temp changes and so on...etc.
And of course, a stationary is usually under the direct care of a mechanic, not missing out on any PM issues....thus much happier for longer.

Blah Blah Blah...
I kinda rambled on there for a minute.
