The most reliable engine, for which 1 km is not the limit
Many still remember the 80-90s of the last century, when in the automotive world there was talk about million-dollar engines. These were units capable of circumnavigating the Earth 25 times along the equator without major repairs (if such a road had been built, of course). An incredible reserve of strength and endurance, which today’s new products in the automotive industry are simply not allowed to dream of - 200-300 thousand, and that’s all for replacement, since even not everyone has been given the opportunity to carry out major repairs by marketers.


But let's not talk about the current state of affairs - let's take a closer look at the true works of art. After all, “millionaires” cannot be called otherwise - the real crown of the era of internal combustion engines. There were many of them - durable and “indestructible”. Although, why was it - some still continue to “smoke” without fail to the delight of their owners. On the TheAutoTop channel we found some such examples:

✅ Nissan RB26DETT
✅ BMW M60
✅ Toyota 4A-FE
✅ Toyota 1UZ-FE
✅ VW 1.9 TDI
✅ Toyota 2AR-FE

But the last unit on the list, subject to maintenance regulations, generally has an incredible service life, allowing you to travel much more than a million kilometers. By an unknown coincidence, all these engines were discontinued at the beginning of the 2000s. Coincidence? In the video you will learn more details about each engine, as well as the reasons that prompted manufacturers to abandon such reliable models.
