One quetsion ive always had about Tiico is the trans gearing.  Is it the
same as withthe waterboxer?   In my waterboxer (auto trans) i do about 65
at 4000 RPM does this mean the inline 4 will do 65 at 4000 rpm too.  Seems
awful high for any 4 stroke engine.  My friends have Jettas that with the
inline 4 that do more line 80-85 at 4000 RPM.  Gotta wonder if the inline
4 can handle prolonged highway driving that could be above 4500 rpm's?
Any comments?

P.S. with the advice of listmember Jon Kanas i just fixed my alternator
for $2 (new brushes).  Sure beats a rebuilt unit at $180!
