Nat Gas be hard on engines

We sold the shit out of 8.1s and 5.7s in generator applications. Detonation, cooked manifolds, and head gaskets destroyed them.

Very interesting.

Our spark plugs tend to have quite a bit of buildup on them on the irrigation motors that run on nat gas. That and they always seem to have trouble starting after a while. Granted, they are outside 24/7 and run 24/7 for half the year...

What do you think they did to their "specifically designed" 6.0l? Beefier head gaskets and stuff?
