If it was a new engine then that would mean it has only done around 18000 kms. It is an FFR model and was painted in the lighter desert tan instead of the darker brown so I'm thinking maybe they rebuilt it and then it was deployed oversees in the middle east.. MAYBE?
Thanks in advance for any input.
A replacement engine would have been a crated rebuilt engine that would have been rebuilt by a specialist. They came complete with pump, alternator and starter.
Usually they are painted completely black. It’s not even run in at 18k km!
