Message: [QUOTE="BrewTown, post: 1567234, member: 31811"] I guess I should revisit the site. I thought they had 2 machines, same mine, that they rebuilt the engines at the same time. Only difference was the pistons and any variable like how close they held tolerance, but essentially the same. I thought after something like 12k? hours run time, typically engines were plain wore out. When they tested stock piston version and SOA version, the stock was again wore out at 12k, but they said the SOA version had a lot of life yet. I thought fuel consumption, emissions and wear were all reduced. I'm reaching from memory here, maybe I can find the write up and post a link? If I remember right, data is on one site and you can buy the pistons on another. Like SOA Pistons and SOA Engineering or something like that. Okay, I looked for that link. This article covers a few, but I didn't see the straight mining write up. Either my memory isn't there, or this is it...
