So, basically, everything is a compromise. The manufacturers bet that
there is more gain to their bottom line by giving higher performance,
while minimizing their costs even if it increases maintenance costs or
risks of damage (which is probably a safe bet since 90+% of consumers are
ignorant of the risk anyway) - the old "What the customer doesn't know
won't hurt them" philosophy.

Sounds like what Ford did to their customers with Piston Slap. I won't be
purchasing another Ford Expedition again. I wonder how many customers Ford
lost because of this and if they even know.

Thanks again for another great explanation.
