The engines are concidered bullit proof as long as you don't overheat them...they run all day at 80% load. I have worked on them fitted to construction equipment, road vehicles... Land Rovers...boats, fork lifts and the odd taxis. They need to be carefully filled with 60% long life antifreeze all year. If you plan to keep it, I would do an oil analysis and change the oil as often as you can afford or at least every 50 hours....this is equal to about 3000 miles on a road vehicle. I was at the factory in Peterborough some time ago to load engines for Italy....very interesting place.....also had Perkins powered 16 tonners at BRS where I worked for 3 years....reliable, but underpowered. If you think they are noisy...you need to listen to a Ford industrial 4 cylinder diesel !!</p></blockquote><p></p>
