Engine reliability:

Overall, this engine can last around 300,000 to 510,000 km if properly maintained, using the correct quality oil and fuel, and carrying out regular checks and maintenance.
The engine has hydraulic valve tappets (lifters), which provide quieter operation and do not require periodic adjustment, but are more complex in design and can cause serious engine damage in the event of failure.
Engine displacement 2967 cm3
Number of cylinders 6
Bore (cylinder diameter) 83 mm
Stroke length (piston move) 91.4 mm
