Hello all,
Just found out about this engine recently, and as the owner of an '89 Mazda B2200, I'm interested in possibly converting my truck over to this powerplant.
According to Wikipedia:
"RF
Naturally aspirated SOHC, 2 valves-per-cylinder, displacing 1998 cc with square internal dimensions of 86 mm bore and 86 mm stroke diesel RF engine was one of Mazda's more popular diesel engines. This powertrain is close related to the Mazda petrol FE engine sharing the same bell housing patterns and other block fixtures and dimensions.
Used also in the 1984-1986 Ford Tempo - Mercury Topaz, the 1984-1987 Ford Escort - Mercury Lynx and pre-2001 turbo diesel Suzuki Grand Vitara
Used in the Mazda Bongo and 1999 Mazda Demio"
From that passage, it almost sounds like a "drop-in" fit, but is it really?
If you know anything about this engine, please enlighten me.
Thanks,
Elvis
