I was having lunch today when a fellow car enthusiast (his deal is old Jags and other British sports cars)told me that all inline sixes will stop in the exact same place when you cut them off.
He claims that because inline 6's always stop in the same place, they eventually wear out the ring gear because the starter always engages in the same place everytime you start it.
He says he read this somewhere and it is due to dynamics found only in inline sixes.
I told him he needs to cut his scotch consumption because I had never heard of such nonsense.
Am I missing something here or do I go ahead with my plans to buy him a season ticket to AA? Cheers DV
