Re: MGB Overdrive?? - engine wear

Hi Rich,

  This is more like what I recall reading at the UTEP library and other
places. Friction causes wear.  Piston speed, re: rpm, is minimal near
TDC.  Combustion pressures get in the act here too.  I agree that an OD
adds complexity to the drive train.  Used correctly, it makes up for it,
IMHO.  

  Never said it was a panacea.  It's not an albatross either.
