I have a low hour 863. Under 1000 hrs and know the previous owner. We replaced the head recently after damaging a glow plug hole. Had the new head reworked completely. Soon after getting it running it threw a rod (hole in the block now). I should mention it had two timing belts replaced in its life both times it got the fiber head gasket and new push rods. It also blew a head gasket at 750 hours. Both timing belts failed belts and the head gasket was also a failure. Did those events damage the rod that broke.
