[Vwdiesel] Rabbit droppings # 106 ---- ( VW and GM diesels.)

[James Hansen]

80 hp Isuzu diesel.  Cast head, cam in block.  Runs on the smell of an oily
rag, and torque to burn.  I have one in my swather, and they were available
in Chevy S-10's for a spell.  An absolutely superb engine.

Benz's weakest link is the timing chain. It wears enough and you walk. Gimme
a t-belt any day.

Nissan and toyota is pretty good too, but I would put my $$ on Isuzu.

  Don't know about that really.  I'm a major fan but cost per trouble free
mile, some Mercedes do quite well.  Nissan then Toyota probably top
VW.  They're just not as plentiful nor common, a little heavier and tougher
than dirt.  NEVER heard of them blowing gaskets and warping heads.
Will seriously consider a Nissan diesel for my daughter's 37 Chevy
when we get to that point.  Afraid to say I wouldn't think of a VW
diesel.  Might give the 5 cyl Audi TDI a thought or two but not as
seriously as the Nissan.
