WHAT THE DISVANTAGES OF THE NEW BLOCK!?
MAYBE THE NEW BLOCK WILL BE BETTER!
It's impossible that it will be better.
Yamnar is a Japanese marine diesel engine mfgr. Their engines are used in working boats and pleasure craft.
History and tradition mean that working boats got Yanmars because it was incredibly reliable and strong.
That all changed when more and more pleasure boat mfgrs started buying them to a large extent and guess what happened?
Since the engine was not needed for 100K hours anymore as is typical in a working boat Yanmar cheapened their design and mfgr'ing costs and _increased_ their prices.
Pleasure boat use was less strenuous for the engine (maybe 5K hours) and more profitable. Like Porsche everything for serious pleasure boats is averaged off and paid for to the nearest us$100 (LOL).
