Just another diesel oddity, I was recently given a one cylinder liquid cooled Onan diesel engine used to power a reefer back in the late 1970's. It even runs! 30 cid giving a hugh 7.3 hp. The heavy cast-iron beast may end up in my over-built wood splitter (I didn't build it! ).
If it's diesel, I like it.

What's the reliability of one of those Isuzu engines compared to a VW 1.6? I think the VW is good for 52 horsepower... it seems like the Isuzu engine doesn't have to work as hard.

My parents had a single-cylinder Onan generator when we lived off the power grid for a few years in the early '70s. I think that started my fascination with Diesels.

I've owned 3 diesel VW's and the oldest of them had 611,000 kms on it when I sold it, and to the best of my knowledge, it had never been rebuilt. It was a n/a. It still ran strong, and didn't use any amount of oil either. The Isuzu in my truck has 500,000 kms on it and is also strong. Which s better? Good question. I'd say they're both good engines.
