Along with these same generalizations:

*Single plane intakes are only good for high rpms.
*Having pistons with the oil ring intersecting the wrist pin will cause the engine to use oil.
*Long stroke engines can not turn high rpms.
*Solid roller lifters fail with street use.
*High volume oil pumps break oil pump drive shafts.
*FE's are high maintenance.

Each statement has qualifiers, but each is not true as a blanket statement.

However, these statements are continually passed on as gospel by forum members everywhere.
