Why don't you try to be more specific? Don't give me lame generallities. Tell me what you think are the design flaws (and don't tell me it's a re-worked gasser) then I will tell you how they were corrected and how it was turned into a good engine. Like any engine the biggest problem is poor maintenance. I've rebuilt too many of those engines to accept "pure evil" as fact. Just finished rebuilding one this week including pump and injectors and it is waiting for a happy owner. As a side note I have noticed that parts are starting to get a little hard to find and spendy. I'm glad that I have a stash of them in one of my sheds.
