Hope Honda

Someenthusiasts say they were born with gasoline in their veins. Chris Tonn, on the other hand, had rust flakes in his eyes nearly since birth. Living in salty Ohio and being hopelessly addicted to vintage British and Japanese steel will do that to you. His work has appeared in eBay Motors, Hagerty, The Truth About Cars, Reader's Digest, AutoGuide, Family Handyman, and Jalopnik. He is a member of the Midwest Automotive Media Association, and he's currently looking for the safety glasses he just set down somewhere.

I can't see myself getting a Civic Coupe. It just doesn't communicate the right things, for me. But if I *were* to get a Civic Coupe, I would totally choose Tonic Yellow. It looks like it held up impressively in the small overlap, too.Meanwhile...Volvo, for the past ten years or so, has been engineering its cars so that in a small-overlap collision, they sheer off the wheel on that side, allowing the rest of car to slide past the barrier while the sacrificed wheel dissipates crash energy. Other cars push the wheel rearward, toward the cabin, which "hooks" the car on the object of impact and causes that sudden deceleration that's so injurious. Why is no one else able or willing to replicate Volvo's strategy?

Slightly off topic, but I saw a show on TV this weekend where a group was trying to design air bags for skiers (sort of a vest). The problem was that they would have to inflate before the fall, and how could the airbag tell if the skier was just doing a flip in the air or really falling?

Honda finally got rid of that crap Unicam motor. I am shocked it only took 20 years. Could Honda finally be pulling its head out? Inquiring minds hope so. The Unicam was interesting as a concept, cool even in its innovation, but in practice was such a turd in reliability. I always thought the problem was Honda using cheap materials, or cutting corners, or just making everything too thin (for lightness).

I don't know...I had one of the early designs and there was some metallurgy problems.....by 2006 they had the metal figured out and after that my hondas have been as reliable as anything else....the dual cases was more of an issue for me.

Honda used bucket and shim on intake, rocker on exhaust. I had a couple 450s, they were also very reliable. The 04-06 250 had some other issues that compounded the problem but it was good after that. The 15 250 was stone cold reliable.

It's not the type that's the problem, both ways have been used very successfully by many manufacturers. It's the execution and/or the materials. One could argue the unicam is more compact and has less rotating mass, but the twin cam has valve stem wear benefits and less friction to deal with. Sort of 6 of one and half doz of the other type thing.

The Honda valve issues were on the intakes which were bucket operated directly from the cam. The problem was valve seats that were too hard for the valve material and wore the valves. Honda said it was from improper air intake servicing that allowed dirt into the engine that wore the valves. But they changed seat material in I think 07. And it most common on the CRF450s, but also on the CRF250s.

No I am not. It escaped my notice that any unicam motor had been retired. Just noticed when I posted the question, assumed 2022 was the first year. I'm still going to wait for a dual sport WR450 with a 6 speed tranny
