You guys down there must do things different. Years ago i bought a 534 ford natural gas engine that was pulled out of a pumping station. It was from the back-up emergency water pump. It was a small city and it was re-powered with a cummins, maybe an 8.3 if i remember correctly. I then turned around and sold it to the small town where i used to live for their emergency water pump which was an identical 534 that was starting to have a couple minor issues. It was an 'installed and running' agreement and i made a few thousand dollars from that deal. Worked great for a few years until their brain-dead-kid operator watched it get hot after it blew a heat-exchanger hose while running flat-out under full load. He called his supervisor and asked what to do. The guy screamed back 'shut it down you moron' with a few expletives thrown in. Then they got me to pull the heads off the original engine which was now the spare, got them freshened up, and swap them onto the one that i had sold them. That poor old 534 had run so hot it had started to burn the paint on the sides of the block. It seemed to run ok again and was still running years later. I gained some respect for the old 534's after that. Maybe the difference in this case was that it was part of a municipal water supply emergency system and not a stand-alone, fire-only pump
