I have had a few and I think they are great! Pretty economical to run
with a 5 speed behind them. I had no real maintenance issues with
mine, just keep the valves in adjustment and let the oil cooled turbo
cool down after a hard run. The only issue mine had which let to me
getting rid of two of them is that they started to leak. Pan or rear
seal, not really sure, just could not be bothered to heave them out to
repair. One of them has now found a new home in a Land Rover
transplant and I expect it to provide many more years of service. The
other is still on the road with a friend who has a dirt driveway :o)
