Listers, 

 

I know there has been some negative discussion about the 350SDLs.  I
think several people have described them as rod-benders.  Is this as
widespread and catastrophic as it sounds.  I know that the head problem
on the 86-87 SDLs is less widespread than I thought.  I believe Marshall
recently had some figures that show it is not as bad as some would have
us believe. Many people have never had head problems.  Is this the same
story with the 350SDLs.  I am looking at a 91 350SDL. I really like the
fact that it is a later model and has a lot of updates.  Does anyone on
the list have a 350 SDL (126 chassis)?  What is your experience?  I
can't really afford to buy a car that will need a new engine in a short
time (especially at the cost that these engines are going for).   Is
there anything in particular to look for?  

 

Any advice is welcome.
