A bunch of newer Swan and TD buses recently got ads for the first time too, 2860, 2869, 3205, 3089, 3090, 2974, 2984 to name just a few I've seen. Also saw Rocky's 2987 earlier has an ad on the side already, practically unheard of for a bus that's only two months old!

Unless their school services get busier, don't see where they'd be necessary.

It appears 1220 replaced 1502 which has been withdrawn from service due to engine issues and is currently advertised on Manheim's for an offsite auction.

Yeah an oil leak from the cylinder head ain’t good and to be honest it wouldn’t be worth the hassle repairing it it’s also an engine out job too new head gasket, seals that’s if the head ain’t crackedImage

For a car, yes. Bus engines have individual heads for each cylinder, per my understanding.

So that means 5-6 heads per engine? I suppose it's more or less the same for trucks.
