While working at HPD (Honda Performance Development) on their Indy V8 while Rahal was driving.
One of the magazines found in Dentist offices like Car & Driver or Motor Trend wrote an article "exposing) the engineering data of the engine.

They had just about everything wrong that was not dictated by the rules:

Bank angle
Bore
Stroke
Block material
Crank design
Torque
Power
Reasons for the engine failures at the time
