I don't plan to buy one so I have no need to do the math. If you want
to prove a point, you do the math.

*I* don't want to prove anything. It was you who claimed that the life
span of the Thielert was too short to be competitive.

No, I never claimed that.

Yes, this may be the case, however the TBR has to get closer to 4,000
hours than to 2,400. Most auto and truck diesels will last at least
twice as long as similar size gas engines, so with Lycs and Contis
lasting 2,000 hours fairly routinely, the Thielert needs to at least
double that ... unless the replacement cost is equivalent to an
overhaul of a Lyc or Conti.

Of curse I did completely misunderstand you. No, please don't explain.
It gets boring.

Yes, what part of "unless the replacement cost is equivalent to an
overhaul of a Lyc or Conti" wasn't clear?

Ah, I finally understand. I've always thought you were insuinating
something by insisting that the Theilert ist only a good deal provided
it is a good deal and repeating that statement over and over. But I
finally understand that you didn't insuinate anything. You just meant
what you wrote: It's only a good deal if it's a good deal.

I don't know how you call such a statement in English, but in German I
call it a "Null-Aussage", a zero-statement. It's only a good deal if
it's a good deal... geezz. Sorry for searching for a message in your
statement.

It's only a good deal if it doesn't land you in the jungle if your diehard
becomes disconnected.
