Some racers actually preferred the splasher engines- - - -they claimed a solid, non-drilled crankshaft was stronger, and a properly set up splash engine doesn't have oiling problems. The idea that splash oiler engines are fragile belongs in the same category as the Easter Bunny, Santa Claus, and honest politicians- - - -they don't exist!
