[QUOTE="Shorty, post: 427434, member: 14574"] This isn't a debate about whether I should install them or not, and I don't want this to turn into a 'Technical' thread otherwise I'll get told of and the thread will be moved! :) What I am interested to know is whether or not YOU have them on YOUR engine... There are 2 reasons I ask: 1) every engine I've looked at recently does not have them, and even Laurie Petit doesn't fit them from what I've read (I have not spoken to him personally) 2) in the UK you can't buy a kit in order to complete this job, parts of it are available only... So I conclude that the demand for it cannot be that great... The worst side effect I can find is reduced expected engine life... I did less than 500 miles in my Westy in 2 year... So I think I'll be OK on that score, especially as I'm a fair weather Dubber and won't be running in extremely cold (or even hot in the UK!) climates.. [/QUOTE]
