Surely the way the engine performed in service would swing it , how reliable , how economical ,how it performed ,so no matter how big the bore was how short the stroke was how high it was revving the most important thing was those 3 factors ,something it passed with flying colours ,Im not too sure the Rolls of the day did back in the early70sAs opposed to a lemon that even its own designers said don’t use and can’t handle being turbocharged at all and another which can’t be boosted to more than 62 lb/ft per litre without grenading,that’ll work.But look on the bright side who needs a turbocharger when it’s all about how big you can make the bores/pistons and how short you can make the stroke to keep piston speeds down at let’s say 280 hp +.Oh wait.
So answer the question , what problems did the TL12 pose for operators while in service , was it poor on fuel ,did it prove troublesome in service and was its performance on the road not up to scratch.■■?
