A thought or two.
Although The "squirt" is more like a trickle or dribble, a lot of people forget
that there is pressure from the crank hitting the said dribble. Not as much when idling
as at 2000 rpm. At these revs the dribble could be hitting the crank at, at least 70psi.
No wear in the journals (Phoenix 1 1/2splash, two bearing, 15000 miles, 10000 around town) in 15 years.
My friends tell me I flog it. I have no experience with competition.
