To reduce the pollution of old but in-service vehicle engines the EPA is subsidizing the purchase of complete replacement vehicles. Upgrading engines is costly and waiting for chassis wear out to justify the cost would take too long. To prevent people from taking this subsidy to get new vehicles and then the auto wrecker defeating the pollution reduction by selling the key pieces, the old frame must be cut and the engine drilled to prevent either from being resurrected. For our switcher I take it that something has been worked out in view of its museum piece destiny. Google "EPA drill hole in engine block" .Bill |
