2011 has come and gone, and 2012 lies before us.

I have been praying to better valve seals for years.

We have engines now that can last 210,000 miles but valve seals that wear out still around 80,000 miles on small engines and 90,000 miles on larger more powerful engines. There has to be some material out there that can last.
