Daihatsu DL 2.8L - NZScott - 11-19-2020
G'day
Anyone have experience with these? Sweet F all about them on the net aside from people thinking they're a 2L engine (because 2.8L and Japanese = 2L?). Never were a North American thing but definitely everywhere else.
My mum's partner has one (DL62, in a 1994 F78 Rugger) and....it blew up towing me in the HJ45...
Anywho, about to tear it down further (his garage took the head off, found blown head gasket and a seized lifter).
Picked up two used and most likely seized engines from a scrap pile today.
Going to tear down all 3 engines and try to make at least one, maybe two runners.
Now I have spare injection pumps, might look at a 4BT rotor head, and fitting my spare HE200WG and see what happens?
