RE: Update on Columbia/Mercedes 4000 blown head gasket

I am just thinking. It may sound crazy.

Can I turn the horsepower DOWN? Can I program the engine somehow to produce only, say, 90% of the maximum output horsepower? Would that make it last longer? I mean, I could not care less if I reach 60 MPH in 25 seconds or in 30 seconds. All I care is to not pay those repair bills.

Also, 3 months ago we changed the speed governor setting from 67 MPH to 80 MPH. I wonder if that had anything to do with head bolt failing. (I doubt it but who knows). Maybe I should reduce the maximum driving speed to, say, 70 MPH?

Any idea?
