Going through the garage having a clearout ..Stumbled across a Brand new in box injecter pump for the 2.5TD VM engine..Anyone put a price on it? Its a new one not a recon..TIA
Quite a few VM's in boats, stick it on Ebay and invite bidsGoing through the garage having a clearout ..Stumbled across a Brand new in box injecter pump for the 2.5TD VM engine..Anyone put a price on it? Its a new one not a recon..TIA
Well I speak as I find .I ran a classic with a VM lump in it for 5 years and it had a hard life but it pulled better than any 200TDI or 300TDI Ive owned since and theres been a few ...32mpg body fell off the chassis but that lump always started used no oil or water .I know most slag them maybe I was just lucky ..
+1, early heads were prone to cracking, the later modified heads were OK as far as I know, run for ever in boats.they were a good engine , just a little prone for cracking heads and more complicated an engine than some mechanics could deal with
still cant understand why they had 4 heads though![]()
true pretty common on forklifts aswell but how would it work out if you needed a head skim or would all 4 need doing ?wasnt that uncommon with some other marine or agricultural engines ,same head could fit any number of cylinder numbers and each liner didnt have to protrude exactly the same as all the others
if i remember correctly heads were coated and couldnt be , but you dont get the same warping with single heads
It was a good idea in real life but expensive to produce and cannot easily be applied to OHC engines. Also the block has to be stronger as the seperate heads do not provide the same stiffness as a single head.less area, and easier to replace or that was the idea behind it. I.e lose one head replace not a full one piece head. If you think about it good idea on paper but not so good in real life.
