BH - sorry for the hijack but—-

Andy- How? I know that sometimes things get a reputation undeservedly but you’re the first that I’ve heard that is a fan of that engine. I guess you didn’t say that you could make it reliable or durable, only that it would leak but I assume you wouldn’t play with them if it wouldn’t last a while.
It’s been years since I’ve seen one of them run. I do like diesels (drive one daily) but the high compression didn’t seem to agree with that block.
