I was driving about two weeks ago, had a revelation, and kept forgetting to post it until now.

Anyways I was wondering, since the Renny is designed to be lubricated by oil, determined by throttle, and runs rich from factory to use fuel as some sort of lubricant, wouldn't engine braking actually reduce the lubrication that the engine is getting and cause damage to the engine.

Now, for the record I am in no way saying this is solely responsible or even a large portion of the reason for engine failures, however I am currently thinking that it might not be a good thing to do with this engine. Thoughts?

 

No no problem. You still get oil.
