[Gasification] engine rebuilds

[LINVENT at aol.com]

What is being missed is that diesel engines last longer than gasoline or 
natural gas engines. The major reason is that diesel acts as a lubricant to the 
cylinder. Natural gas and gasoline engines also have higher rates of corrosives 
produced, dry out the cylinders and automotive engines are much lighter 
design. 
My undertanding is that diesel engines made into natural gas engines do not 
last as long or have shorter time periods between major maintenance, i.e., 
downtime for rework, as natural gas engines built specifically for natural gas. 
Valve seats are one of the basic difficulties where they don't last and wear out 
requiring replacement.
