[QUOTE="creationblue, post: 636195, member: 1093"] The flat six 110 version of this engine suits a Type2 bus so well, it's a shame there are not more about. One maybe two others in the UK I Think but both running the Powerglide 3sp Auto box whereas mine is a manual, now on a 3rib box with better gearing. I fitted it about 5 years ago and still haven't needed to adjust the tappets in that time! The only issue I have had is a leaking RMS and a damaged Pilot bush resulting in gearbox oil being thrown onto the clutch. Both took a while to diagnose annoyingly, mainly due to my lack of experience with this engine. I am still not convinced this alternator is going to be any better than the last that failed within a short space of time but thats another story!! [/QUOTE]
