I know it works well, but you are limited to just how much you can stroke a motor, AND how much power you can make... The Honda crank can hold a LOT of power, but as with everything else, it has its limitations

Im gonna lean more toward KJs explanation on this one... Oil squirters have no affect on piston speed to my knowledge, and if they do, It would have to be minute... due to the inertia the rotating assemble has at those speeds...
