Most reliable production engine

[sexycar]

anyone can suggest the most reliable production engine in the world
that is robust & easiest to maintain?

I think that should be Mitsubishi 4G15 carburettor version

My contribution is the Toyota Corolla engine (old model). Anyone know the engine type? It's the one you see in those OLD corolla wagons, always yellowish/cream colour. My dad had one of those when he was a student and when I went back to NZ, there was still quite a few on the road..... Toyota New Zealand had an ad where the odometer was 999,999km and still going strong.

[silverzilla]

Datsun A12, oh how i love u so

 

[lozo]

diesel engine for trucks..tractors..excavators..etc

 

[apexi3016]

agree with lozo....diesel engines in general are the most reliable especially the ones without electronics...purely mechanical...not only for trucks and heavy vehicles but also for cars(old merc taxis...hehehe) and 4X4's(HILUX, LAND CRUISER PICKUP 4.2, LAND CRUISER NINJA...etc..)......they go on and on and on.........

thats becoz they were designed to be as lasting as possible. they had that in mind when they made them. in the commercial sector, there is great demand for machines that could cut cost by reducing the frequency of needed maintenance. this is one sector that motor manufacturers seem like they give in to the customer's dreams.. to me lah :lol:

if they wanted to do the same for our car engines they could. but the cars and even the engines would cost at least 3 times their current price.

k series toyota engine sure is reliable.. nomatter how you trash it, sometime it might overheat abit, just let it rest and then its back to business >_<. use the "wait until it blow up to get a 4age", and you'll wait forever... the K50 gearbox that come with it sux tho...
