  • Main downside is the only thing they did was measure Cylinder (outer) Wall, and Muffler Temperature, both with a Laser Thermometer . The procedure was through + well thought out, but no investigation on Engine Deposits Carbon Deposits, or of Wear (On the Cylinder, on Valves, etc). Cut tests were alright, but more Project Farm esque jigs, or a Dynamometer test would be nice for quantification of power etc
