Nothing wrong with pushrods, it only limits RPM. For a diesel, which isn't really high-revving anyway, it's probably preferable. Simpler, easier to service, longer-lasting. My two favorite trucks, the Dodge diesel and the V10, are both pushrod engines. Both are powerful, reliable, and long-lasting. -- Jim _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
