Three engines in 40k from any manufacturer would make me look at everything/everyone connected to the engine.
See Ford 6.0 Liter DIEsel Motor....
Navi/Ford collaboration. Stock 450SD 16,000LBS, 6 sets of head gaskets, then a new motor from Ford, 8000 mile past that warranty it dropped an Injector tip, holed a piston and left me on the side of the road in western Nebraska. New (Jasper)studded motor installed lasted 9500 miles before another head gasket. Repaired under warranty. Now have a 6.7 Ford in the same type truck with 150,000 miles...
"Many factors can contribute to a blown head gasket, but it all starts with the head bolts—the type and the lack of them. Torque-to-yield head bolts are nothing new in automotive engines, but once a TTY fastener stretches beyond its yield point, it becomes permanently elongated. This translates into a loss of clamping force. The 6.0L’s design employs just four TTY head bolts per cylinder (the 7.3L utilized six per cylinder). The head bolts might measure 14mm in diameter, but there simply aren’t enough of them to contend with the cylinder pressure being created beneath them."

Pretty sure the Toy hybrid problem is related to piss poor machining. Mitsubishi had a similar problem in the mid-90's; the 1st gen eclipse/talon had the infamous 4g63, but for some reason engineering decided to try and free up some rotational resistance to gain free HP. As a result, the crank bearing journals were machined a smidgen too loose, and "crank walk" became the end result. This is a well known catastrophe.
The new Yota, if im not mistaken, is slipping crank bearings and seizing engines.
Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. 3.5EB for the win.
Stop it. Start a Ford engine/Eco Cuck thread or you know who will bring the horror…. None of us want that like a land war in Asia.
No matter who makes it, a turbocharged gas engine will never outlive a naturally aspirated one that makes the same hp.How is it going for Toyota trying to copy Ford and run a twin turbo V6?
