Just how bad are the 7.3L V8 Diesel Mercruisers?

[Whitelighter]

Avoid at all costs? I understand the parts are getting very hard to find, but if there have been some recent new bits fitted (exhaust elbows for example) are they ok as an engine?

Nooooo!

Avoid.

Any particular reason or just a generall level of badness?

 

[Whitelighter]
