A couple of short clips of me driving the beast during the covid nights of 2020. I was putting some Kms on the engine for it to break in. The engine is very torquey but feels very "held back" (for the lack of better vocabulary) at high end. I guess that is the deal with 2 valve per cylinder NA diesel right? I suppose it doesn't get happy at high end unless turbo'ed. This comment aside, it is a blast to drive.
Also, I found a picture of the only thing that made some difference in engine noise that I mentioned previously, some sticky foam around the square airbox junction. That really brought the noise some notches down. Later down the road, when I start to proper sound deaden the cab, I will add some more layers or maybe a thicker sticky foam tape to seal this some more.
