My concern, of which I hope will be alleviated, is when you have only 4 pistons doing the work of 6 or 8, it is more stress, and therefore the engine won't last as long or will be more problematic.
8 pistons pushing 300hp is easy. 6 pistons pushing 300hp is not bad but extra work. Now, we get down to 4 pistons doing the work that it used to take 8 pistons. I know we have new technology every day. But that is a lot. Plus, extra pressure means that seals and gaskets blow out quicker as well.
As I mentioned, I hope my concerns are alleviated.
And yes, they should have brought the diesel over here.
