I have never had a problem with a 6.2, or a 6.5.

I heard that the “H” block code on those diesels were the blocks that
had all the problems fix, but a little late to save the GM diesel
program. Of course the 6.2 and other GM diesels did not help things.

Subject: [MBZ] Speaking of lousy GM Cars and getting back on Diesels
I saw something amazing over the weekend. I found a 1983 Oldsmobile 98
Regency Diesel two door. It was in miraculous shape. It had 43,000
miles. It was white with a maroon interior. This big sucker had the
converted 5.7 diesel engine. They were absolutely horrible cars. It was
a gasoline engine block with all the diesel works mounted on. I had
three different Olds 98’s, I really liked them. When I was a Service
Manager at an Olds/Honda dealership, one of the Mechanics had one of
these cars. He had 300-400,000 miles on it. He also had purchased 6-7
injector pumps from some connection that he had. The IP’s were scavenged
from cars that had to be junked because pistons cracked or blocks
cracked. He was a real whiz at replacing the injector pumps. He never
had lower end engine problems. He replaced the intake gasket every year
I think and added a quart of transmission to the tank every other fill
up and only got diesel at the truck stop. Strange guy- strange car.
Anyway, it was a real sight to see this historic car. I almost bought
it, just to say I had one. Maybe I’ll find the ever illusive 1984
Cadillac Seville Diesel (I think Car and Driver or some car magazine
named it the worst car of all time).
