Are Diesel Parts Stronger?

[weejimmy 1]

is anything from the xud9 an upgrade onto any other xu engine? strenth wise, i know the longer throw crank is good but are they stronger?

crank, rods, pistons, or even the block itself, or are they the same block as a s16 etc?

thanks

The TD ones (XUD9TE) have forged cranks and rods as far as I know - I presume the petrol ones didn't. The later DW10 engine also shares the same crank as the XUD9TE.

Diesel pistons are far far different from the petrol counterparts though and cannot be used in a petrol engine.
