My job is to make qualifications based on the customer's testimony, then build the engine.

Pete and I have talked many times, and although he hasn't ordered an engine yet, he has emphasized the need for durability, reliability, and the ability to drive long stretches at a time while cruising.

My recommendation would be the hydraulic roller...since it's a little more than a "toy" with this type of reasoning.
