Neil, an old friend's parents had an early 70's Dadge Dart, same as the Valient, with the slant 6. That engine had been around for ages, and a real workhorse. Didn't surprise me that it lasted quite awhile, they were tough old simple things weren't they?

Being mechanically sympathetic to motors in general, I have never on purpose done nasties to an engine, but when I had motorcycles, I was always amazed how when missing a shift at top revs, how my bike motors didn't make funny noises after wanging the rev needle off the end peg with a false neutral.
