Is the Maestro Juan Miguel Fangio?

If it is Fangio it would be the Pagani Zonda

Ok, what was one of the main problems in the Ford 7.3L deisels that made them stop running at idle?

I'm going to guess it was either a poor design of the prechamber or low compression, combined with the high amount of accessories on the engine.

[TheBigMan045]
