Even in Canada, parts for them are starting to get a little hard to come
by. The 3B and 2H have been out of production for almost 24 years, and
parts for them are starting to get a little on the scarce side.
I keep an interchange list that lists the cross references for everything

It is VERY easy to get oarts for a HJ or BJ Landcruiser! Just call a
Canadian dealer and deal with them!
I used to have a lot of US customers needing parts. No biggie. The US
dealer network just likes to play dumb and say they don't exist. They
have the same info and can get the parts but seem to

Push rod with OHV. Very well build engine, I adjusted the valves in it
once in the years I had it and most of them did not need adjusting.
Yes it is the same engine and no there is no camshaft sitting on top
that I could see.

There is other factors that come into play such as the way the turbo

I know that. You said the one in the Nissan was push rod, I confirmed that the

Why couldn't Mercedes have made a W124 4matic diesel wagon, and sold
it in the USA? :(
Dunno, but if they had there's be two or three of them
living on our road!

The Nissan SD33 is push rod, glow plug six with a Nippon Denso copy of
the Bosch in line injection pump.
Was originally designed as a light truck motor and as such is a big
thing with a long stroke.

They did make them, but they didn't sell them here. Americans, by and
large, aren't interested in such a vehicle. It's incredibly expensive to
get another engine option certified here, so if they don't think they can
sell enough to make a profit, it doesn't come here.

$9,500 for a 26 year old vehicle, no mileage listed, that obviously is
not a "show" or restored example?
That seems high to me, no matter how "rare" it is.
