The Big Sad Diesel Breaking Thread

[darrenjlobb]

The biggest problem I have if the motor isnt sold as complete lump, is the manifold etc is frankly worthless, as it wont fit anything else...unless anyone else is planning on running a 16v hdi with compounds without forged rods / rebuilt motor.... People keep asking what the motor owes me to figure out what its worth, at the end of the day, it owes me a rediculas sum of money that dosnt remotely relate to what its worth, due to so many rebuilds / uprated parts / trial and fail parts etcetc, wouldnt suprise me if the process of sorting the injectors cost over a grand on its own...I think the most likely option is to strip most of the bits off the engine, and leave it as a block / head / manifold with turbos, but even then, unless i remove studs / rods etc, its a $$$ lump of iron still...

Sentimentality doesn't mean anyone has to lose their sense of humour though.

Sorry, I really don't have any sense of humour right now, so just leave it out and all will be fine, if you want something ask, if not, please dont confuse matters.
