Do these lists only include American engines or are all manufacturers considered?

I had the Chevy 2.2, it wasn't a bad motor, got great mileage in my S-10. My grandfather has a 2.2 Turbo Dodge Caravan, and he loves it.

I had a Vega for my first car - what a turd that was!

[Dave]

im again upset to see 2.2 mopars on there and once again will say that they were bombproof if you werent a moron

[BobTheBiker]

I think the only real reason you see all US made engines or US desigs even is because the japanese track record is simply so much better overall. I really cant think of any failures in the jap products that arent attributed to stupid.

A magazine like Popular Hot Rodding bagging on American motors.......Who woulda thought?

1974 - 1983 was the darkest period for the Big Three. Total crap quality all across the board. They were still stuck on the mentality that Americans would buy whatever they built.

The only japanese blunder I can think of is the recent camshaft failures in the toyota tundra. It was a small amount of failures and Toyota took care of them.

Other then engines, Toyota has a campaign running right now to buy back tacomas at 1.5X blue book if the frame has significant rust on it. There is a VIN range thats affected. I forget what it is.

Even before I read the article, I had picked out 6 of the engines involved!

My Toyota was part of that, although it was not rusted....Here are the related links on that:

On a Side Note...the Chryslers 2 Liter Is a Fucking Turd and should be Blown up at all cause.

well the seven bolt 4g63 comes to mind. as well as any third gen rx7 turbo. couple other good ones in there. how bout the ford 5.0 which splits in half if you dont add a brace?

Actually the Seven Bolt isnt as bad as everyone makes it out to be...I think the percentage of Crankwalked Seven Bolts is Extremly Low compared to the number of them produced.

But It was still a Flaw nonthless
