    What is the integrated alternator output? answer: 12V 20A DC

    What do the crankshaft drive gear and the dog gear have in common? answer: These two have matching 6 digit serial numbers

    What does the cylinder head temperature sender measure? answer: It measures the metal temp

    What are the new spark plug gap settings? (.6mm -.7mm) .023 - .027 The wider gap is better for the hot OAT and the narrower is better for cold OAT

    How often should the coolant be replaced?
    answer: every 2 years. (I know there is a place where it says by overhaul, but that's rediculous since that may be 12-15 years away)


    Ok guys try some more.
