Spend some time with the GM 5.7. That engine killed the light diesel market for years.

The biggest problem for years were the gas engine conversions to diesel. We can all thank our friends at GMC for those piles of #$%^

From what I've heard, the gas-derived blocks were bulletproof and the bottom ends were fine; the biggest problems were the ridiculously lax head/ block deck specs, cheap head bolts, chain-driven Roosamasta and lack of a fuel-water separator.

The engineers that did the math to make the engine stand up to the higher pressures did a splendid job; it was the gas-engine mentality about the little things that killed the engine.

I would rather have an Olds than a 6.5 liter. With the head installed correctly they're supposed to be good little engines. :lol4:

It has been too long since we've had a Sarah McLachlan thread, hasn't it? Granted, she hasn't released any new material since she got divorced, and my passport hasn't come in the mail yet so I haven't been able to go up and woo her any, but still, it's been too long...
