Try and do your research before you post nonsense Tony, and if it's a wind-up, it's in bad taste.

Perpetuating a myth that all Sags that haven't had a rebuild need one does the majority of owners no favours.

Kieth try having a day off being an arse smile

I know the car you bought Tony.

I found it a bit sad that you went down the route of suggesting that the original Sag engines were chocolate when they were anything but.

I suspect, but don't know for a fact, that the majority of 4.3s have been done cos the owners wanted more torque, or just because they could. There was very little wrong with the 4.0 engines that came out of the factory in 2005/6.

Didn't I read Hollowpockets Sag blew up on a Monza track Day?
Correct and then spent a fortune having a rebuild,this begs the question if the 2005/2006 4.0 engine were fine then why did it let go,unless this was an isolated incident

Sold mine with nearly 50,000 miles on the original engine and nothing wrong with it at all. Dom @ Power had even given up on trying to sell me a 4.3 or 4.5 conversion on the basis that "your engine is fine Kev".
Would I go for a converted now? Yes but only because whilst the car was quick enough for the road it just never felt as quick as it looked smile

You could buy a Porsche and have engine fires, bore scoring or bearing failures a Lambo and have engine fires or 3,000 mile clutches etc.

Buy them and enjoy them.
I have never had a car that has given me more pleasure to drive than a Sag,and i also own a Lambo,Porsche and a Ferrari
No issues with the air cooled,no probs with the clutch on the diablo or the scud
