Ap1 Vs Ap2
My understanding from reading all the info out there, is that honda increased the displacement to gain more low end torque and passify those out there that wanted a slightly "less frenetic" car. The hp stayed virtually the same and the torque gain was about 10-12 pounds. The compression stayed the same, although the bore and stroke changed as well. Honda is noted for there high reving engines and unless you spend a huge amt of time north of six K, the engine will last forever with proper maintenance. Some of their f-1 engines run all day at 18 to 20k rpm. The only weak areas that i have heard of is the clutch and rear axle. I know if I continue to do burn-outs, I'm pressing my luck with the clutch/drivetrain. I'm sure other members have their own take on these issues. The bottom line is that both engines are excellent powerplants w Honda's reliability and superb engineering!
