Its no denying that this is a real issue. There is plenty still going around with 300plus thou on the clock and not using a drop of oil.Originally Posted by bjcresswell

Try and buy something that has already been rebuilt, or as low as possible k's on it. Even a rebuild is no guarantee you are safe. I bought mine with a 40k old motor, 50ísh though later the IP died. I ended up doing a TD swap, removed the head on the ZD and number 4 piston was cracked and ready to go. I have said to other people if you buy a 3Ltr, expect it to drop the pin, if it doesn't then great! They are a good little zippy motor. Good if you will be driving it as a daily and your living in the burbs with traffic. You can get them going pretty good to with some mods.
