New L88?

[Bruce]

I've seen the Comp Cam Optitron in operation.
No water pump in operation in the testing I saw.
No oil on valve springs for cooling, and they go crispy and fail, same with
overheating a motor from coolant lose.

Bearing and ring friction are bigger slices of the HP loose from internal
engine stuff, and they have been making progress there.

There are so many considerations, HP being only one element.
