I don't know why, but it seems to me that the B230F will take tons more abuse than the B230FT...is it because of the lower compression? Is it because of the sodium filled valves? I don't know, but I learned that old adage "f me once, fault resides somewhere else", "f me twice, my fault entirely". I did a couple of customers a favor, providing them with a running 92 730T, and a 94 930T, prior to replacing their motors for them at a greatly reduced cost. Of course there are the ones that are so toast that you don't even try...

One customer roasted his engine, had it towed in, and was standing next to me as I made my assessment. Okay...it's out of coolant...let's add some water and see if the car will start...I watched the dipstick literally float up out of the tube. My stunned expression must have alerted the customer who said, "I take it that's bad?" Ummm....yeah...that would be bad.
