Beta Kubota is more capable than any engine fitted in a road vehicle in 30 years.Well paint it green and stick it in a boat of course
Block pre-heaters, like a kettle element screwed into the block, are common in Canada.

Mostly because it doesn't have a turbocharger, or any form of emissions control.
People seem to have mixed experiences of those. Some run them for years with very little problem, others seem to struggle.
about the same, in my experience
If you average under 1,000 miles a year, it really doesn't matter.
not a series diesel though, atleast, not a series 2
I had several 2286 diesels, they were adequate, but only just. Forestry work doesn't need a lot of speed.not a series diesel though, atleast, not a series 2

my dads S1 has the 1.6 but its not running yet
Those are even slower. But quite rare, they went up to 1.8 litre after the first year or so of production.
pretty sure its the 1.6, funky looking thing, was one of a small batch sent to the army for testing
1.6 was sidevalve, I think the 1.8 was I.O.E, and then they went to OHV for the 2.0 litre.
honestly cant remember now, i know its a funky head but cant recall the details
Talking about engines and tight tolerances I once heard that F1 engines are virtually seized when cold and won’t turn over until the oil and block is warmed up to then allow them to start due to the extreme tolerances
of course that may be total bull and with me not having that kind of knowledge that many of u have its well above my pay grade
plus might as well throw in another daft question so only get bits thrown at me once, lol
We’re glow plugs also part to reduce emissions plse
right, am now going to take cover , lmao
