[Vwdiesel] Honda 2.2L diesel Mileage

[slatersfb@aol.com]

 Old Volvo 4 cylinder engines had fibre cam gears; fairly high failure rate. Probably not a good idea for an interference engine. Mild helical grind would be fairly quiet, especially since the trend now seems to be encasing the whole engine in plastic covers. Makes me gag.
