i have a b16a2 that is beatin on like a nascar everyday has currently 111k not much yet no problems just need to keep oil in it (vtec and all)

i think the best motors are def the small block chevy especially the 302 which is a small journal 327 with a 283 crank.

longer rods are the way to go for reliability a closed deck and non interfierence in all honesty fi is not really the best way to go the more gizmos (imho) one adds the more crap there is to break.

i think we need to look at f1 engines if we are going to be doing anything any better.

i cant remember which engine it was exactly but in the late 70's bmw has a 1500 cc motor with like 6.5 compression and boost to 1500 or so hp- it never broke down. the problme with that is that the compression was so low that it really would not be streatable not that that is what they were going for of course.
