oil viscosity

Thanks Jake, That's interesting how they built the engine around such strange tolerances. How does Subaru get around this with their boxer engines that crank out some incredible HP per displacement? (of course Subies have head gasket issues). How about all those motorcycle engines out there with roller bearings located all over the place in the engine? Or is that just because of how the ball bearings are located and consequent loading in line with the bearing or a thrust loading?

Anyway, I appreciated the experiential response!
