Just crossed 1,000 engine rebuilds on my personal logbook
I hit the 1,000 mark last Friday rebuilding a 6.7 Cummins for a farmer near Lubbock. Never thought I'd keep count that long, but it's wild seeing how many diesel engines I've actually torn down and put back together over 22 years. Anyone else keep a running tally of their rebuilds?

Honestly, which engine platform has given you the most headaches over those 22 years to get back right?

The old mechanical stuff was way more reliable in my book. People complain about carburetors and points ignitions but those things were simple to rebuild with basic tools. Electronic fuel injection and computer controls just add layers of complexity that fail in weird ways. Idk, maybe it's just me but I'd rather rebuild a Quadrajet blindfolded than trace a wiring short on a modern ECM harness.
