The 4.0 is a legend . And a dinosaur. It is both loved and disliked .
Namely it is disliked by those in the know about modern engine weight and performance.
Why is it a legend then?
This is what I contend -
Back in the day , motors were considered shot at 100,000 miles and it’s 258cc predecessor would easily last twice that .
IN THE LAND OF THE BLIND, THE ONE EYED MAN IS KING.
I still like mine , I like knowing it will last and last , I like the torque , and I like the reputation it has . I’d like a lighter , more powerful engine even more .
