One thing people don’t realize with skid plates. They do have another benefit. They provide a smooth surface on the underside to help cut down on wind resistance at highway speed.
Cuzza blow by. All engines create it. It gets worse as the engine wears. Blow by happens when part of the combustion process squeaks by the piston rings. That creates a positive pressure inside the crankcase. That pressure has to go somewhere, blow out seals or boom. In days of old they would...
