What is a “waterless wash”???

R.I.P. Bob! I often found his opinions (which were just his, of course) to range from being interesting, to insightful, to sometimes provably wrong. But even then it was always interesting to see him wind up some people like a cheap watch. And he never did reveal to us the correct torque...

Because it: - changes the ign timing - moving the helical gear contact off centre [ with the pump drive ] increases the gap between the gear teeth; this causes ign timing variations & may increase tooth wear because of the 'hammering' from increased gaps.

Maybe to limit the wear from the "scraping" that will occur - rather than the 2 surfaces rotating against each other they will also be rubbing against each other horizontally?
