- maintains maximum engine efficiency & power, even during extended slow speed use
- (carbon build up on valve stems can lead to sticky valves & poor performance)
- Lightweight, aluminum cylinder features ceramic composite plating on the cylinder bore.
- insures uniform heat dissipation
- coating enhances the thin film of oil between the cylinder & piston, reducing friction & increasing power
- Wet sump-type oil delivery system with centrifugal oil filtering system.
- automatically removes any particles found in the oil
