you're not kidding about that engine being more simple and long lived than a Galapagos tortoise.  they are embarrassingly unkillable.  buddy had one in HS in a late 80's F150 shortbed and would regularly abuse it in ways that even my 17 year old brain knew was mechanical suicide.  not that it cared, or broke.
