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?
1978 300D, 373,000km... OM617.912 with a Holset HX30W, 7.5mm IP, 711.113 5 speed (project car, 7 years off the road and counting ;/)
1977 250 270,000km (parts car)
1977 300D (ex 280) 500,000km
1981 240D 498,000
1975 HJ45 ???,000
2001 2.8TD Rodeo 4x2 - 456,000 - DD
