cummins 24 valve (6bt) is superior to both ford and duramax diesels

Damn straight.
Even the all mechanical 12-valve is superior.
I can say though the 7.3 Powerstroke is the best diesel in a pickup of all time, after the Cummins of course.
XR-7:
Mmm
Dionysusan:
so apparently my car as been skipping for months. We couldn't really tell because it puts out plently of power and will smoke the tires from a dead stop without brakes or whatever, it gets 17mpg, and you can't feel the skip. Cylinder 6 though, has only 60 psi compression. (should have ~150 like all the rest)
not sure what the problem is but the motor is probably getting pulled.
don't have a cylinder leakdown tester, just a compression tester, so I don't even know if the cylinder may as well be completely dead.
Skig²:
Opinions on the BMW Z3? I kind of want one.
Probably a 2.9L stick., but they're not easy to find cheap. Realistically is probably have to settle with a 2.3L or 2.5L engine
