Ok so Iv got both a vitara and an sj engine in my unit which came with my spares. Finally got round to sorting a few bits out and WOW I can not believe how light those engines are! I also have an Isuzu diesel, saab turbo, vauxhall 1.8 8v and a 1.6 16v pug engine. After moving them I could physically pick them up and throw them. Now I see why you all keep with them, if this diesel ever breaks ill sure as he'll be going back to a vitara 8v

there's also the high pollution that a diesel engine chucks out...stinky things.
If it ticks over...leave it

There is from mine, the amount it smokes when cold is unreal! It's like a proper old school commercial diesel!
