rafael, I did 70000 km in three years with it. But even if I did 5000 I would preferably run propane. Dirt cheap to install, and even cheaper to run.
Guys, a good friend has a NEW TS engine lying around, 1200 euro's, here in holland. Contact Marco Van Doorn, mail:
mavado70@hotmail.com.
He is a true Alfista, can be trusted, and knows how to ship etc.
Good luck!
Pfhew, I read the entire topic, and had to wrestle thru a lot of pffffffff...
I would like an engine such as Max has, but : no budget.
TS scrapheap engines do about 250 euro complete here.
But you have to factor in the need of also having a Nord 2000 engine, for oil pump, flywheel (getting rare and expensive!!!) front engine cover etc.... And 2000 engines are getting to be around 600 euro for a scrapheap engine. (meaning you mght be lucky getting an average engine, or you might be in the sh*t with junk. Which don't matter 'cause you'll still have your flywheel etc... and revisioning an average Nord or grotty nord doesn't matter much in terms of price)
All this meaning, for me: I'd rather just DRIVE the thing 'stead of spending hours in the shop getting a TS built...... and have some cash left!
