Default Longevity of F22C vs. F20C

Well, got AC power back and hi-speed as well, so here I am - home base is still looking Isabeled.

Here is a new take on the now old 04 vs. everything that came before debates.

Will the F22C provide longer engine reliability?

1) It will have marginally higher piston speed - not so good

2) It will have a 1000 rpm lower redline - good, if the previous "Honda engineer" statement that the last 1000 rpm put twice the strain on the engine

3) The greater torque around town will allow short shifting - good for reliability.

So which engine will see 120k miles?

Let the drum beating begin!

I imagine both cars will see 120k, probably 200.

I hope so! I plan on finding out. My 6 y.o. daughter asked if she will get my '04 when she starts to drive in 10 years. I figure on having about 200k on her by then...
