What's this?

They have replaced oil leaks with internal design flaws


Their newest M8 engine took something like seven oil pump design changes over three years to get them to stop sumping. Add to that leaking piston oil jets, plastic intakes that are melting, crank case vents that are not adequate and causing high carbon deposits on pistons among other issues. Makes me nostalgic for just a few oil leaks.
