In fact, many aftermarket auto part manufacturers are actually improving and correcting known failure points on parts, in many cases making them better than the same OE counterpart. This is because aftermarket manufacturers reverse engineer OEM parts, allowing these manufacturers to identify their strengths and weaknesses.

I just had the most terrible flashback. I vaguely remember at one point writing something along the lines of “the Fisker Ocean looks like a great purchase” This was back before it even went on sale. To be fair, it did sound pretty good on paper, but sometimes, reality is a cruel mistress. Oh, and thankfully, I never actually called it a great purchase.

The carbonaceous compounds that form on various engine components, including pistons, valve trains, and timing chain covers, are a natural occurrence, a consequence of aging that results from the breakd
