Agree, but again why does the cam/follower/etc become an issue, as they are in
the upstream (atmosphere, or low pressure) of the higher pressures?
Again, we need to know the makeup of the debris from failed systems.
Betcha cam/follower/piston material and of that, DLC...
Agree that bio-diesel is another issue and will have their own problems
at these pressures, but the failures to date seem to involve the cam
cavity components (debris)
Edit...hey, maybe two 'main' problems that has Bosch looking at just
one...that then masks the real 'first' in a sequence of failure...
I still think diesel as a lubricant is insane for this application...was
going to say stupid, but Marty might slap me for that... :B
