Hi! Next winter I'm going to have to repower, and I'm having a hard time finding engines that can be troubleshooted without a laptop and a guy that takes 500$/hour reading fault codes in white overalls. (yes it's a true story) Even worse, this guy would have to be helicoptered to ridiculous places at ridiculous costs most parts of the year...
I've been looking at Weichai 300+hp (wp10 or wp12) engines and their licence versions of badouin, Deutz and Cummins engines, and by the looks of some of them, they are made like they were 90's engines, without electrically controlled injection. I also find Youtube filled with videos of bolt by bolt assembly of these engines, that I hope I had with the current one.
Does anyone here have one of these chinesium engines installed and run it for a few thousand hours? I would be really interested in first hand experiences with these.
Thanks in advance.
