I have a DJ engine in my newer '87 Wolfy but it's sick (leaking head and low
oil pressure when warm). It's not original engine that came with the van but
I don't know where it originated from. I don't believe these engines were
supplied in the vans brought into the US market. The van has the Digifant FI
but the engine doesn't have the provision for the high pressure oil switch
it should have to work with this FI. The PO shorted the HP oil line to
ground to keep the oil warning from going off above 2000 rpm.

What's different about the DJ engine from the MV? Is it just pistons and
longer connecting rods or are there other differences as well that account
for the greater HP?

Oh yes, I hear it every time I start my Syncro! See my web site for specs!

Oh, and I'm not the only one around here with this engine.
