I was just trying to say the honda one was a bit more purpose designed / built than the twin cam F8

Ahhh the F6 what an ugly duckling motor....they were an option on the GC in japan, south africa and europe....

I bought one from an import wrecker a few years back as a desperation motor..My GC was up for rego and it was burning more oil than petrol...i didnt have time for a rebuild, so I bought the cheapest thing that I could find that would make the car run...in a GC coupe, it wouldnt pull the skin off a rice pudding! It ended up being in the car for 3 years, when It was only meant to last a few weeks (long story) I tried all sorts of things to make it go better (all the usual NA tricks) no avail...I did advance the cam a bit, it shifted the torque down a bit to make it more driveable!

Apologies for getting off topic.
