That's a design of camshaft duration. Plus a heavy flywheel use by
diesels to push through their up to twenty four to one compression
ratio, which was used on the stock Kaiser Buick V6 to change it's torque
and push it through it's odd fire.

I have been retired for ten years, and everything I do is a hobby. The way
I look at it, a hobby is something you want to take pride in. I get more
obsessed about my hobbies, than I never did about work. I would never,
ever, do something as cheesy as using used jugs off of Ebay, for example.
When I decided to learn Spanish, I got a bachelor's degree in it, and spent
six months in a part of Spain, where no one speaks English. Now I am going
for a master's degree. Just for a hobby.

Why don't you use something good?

The Deutz is a good design. i went out and got new cylinders, does
that make you happy?

Good design for a wood chipper maybe. Jeeps do a lot of idle speed rock
crawling. Any air cooled engine is going to overheat if idled too much. I
think it's just a bad choice, like trying to learn Spanish or Arabic from
cassette tapes. Then fly to Marrakech and try to get around. Your first
day on the trail with the Deutz, if you get that far, is going to be like
that.

Bill will be glad you sprung for new cylinders though. :-)
