it accelerate from cruise going up a mountain at that speed.
I wondered frequently how fast I'd be going at the chosen power I gave
the engine if I hadn't been hauling the trailer and my 700 lb + bike.
I saw many dead cars along the high Nevada desert and I didn't want to
be one of them and I wasn't.

Re: How Many Miles?
Sam, Have you ever tried taking off that trailer tailgate and see if that
makes a difference behind your Jeep.
Even with the vent openings I would think that has to be creating a lot of
drag.

Very few V6s have balance shafts. If the engine is at 60 or 120
degrees it runs pretty smoothly. Rotax is making a 4 cycle 120 degree
V6 that looks very attractive as a marine engine.

People who live there get oversize radiators. And, trans and PS
