Something out of the square

thanks to clubisuzu for the link.

Interesting - looks like all discontinued engines - wonder if they bought the manufacturing plants or just made copies...

cant wait till they make l28's, so i might get a good one .

No chance of that ever happening

Have been thinking about one of these (4Y) for the Hilux........................

If the chinese are making whole engines, where can we buy their individual parts?

Interesting, shame theres not too many car engines, most seem to be truck diesels. Is the pricing reasonable, I realsise they-re 'new', but whats comparo like to a import halfcut etc.

Would you really want to put knock off parts in a genuine Cummins 6BTA?

I would like to know how Cummins, as an example, view a site advertising new, replacement Cummins engines!

I bet this site doesn't stay up long! - They don't even say "compatible with" or "replacement for!"

why, whos gunna force them to get rid of it? they are in china, prolly hosting out of china, dont think you would have any luck suing for false advertising or misrepresentation or otherwise, and if they have bought rights to manafacture then I dont realy thing isuzu etc would GAF

i thaught they were only reproducing out of manufacture engines.

Probably just bought the tooling and rights.
Maintaining parts inventories and design info for older engines probably cost the OEM's a lot of money - why not sell it off. Esp since its mainly the "poorer" countries that keep the old stuff running so much longer than the "developed" countries.

If the parts are made properly, then what's the problem? I've bought genuine isuzu parts (from an Isuzu dealer) with "made in China" on the box.

The parts I'm looking for are external anyway (exhaust manifold).

I bought one of these new 4Y motors for my lux last year, just had to swap the sump. But for $1250 for a new engine im certainly not complaining!!
