The German 358 for its size in the 826 is one of the most fuel efficient engines IH made, as a matter of fact all the German's are fuel sippers. As for the 358 being a money pit I have to take issue. If you compare overhaul kits for the 358 and the 407 in the 856 you will find the german kit is actually cheaper. The german is a wet sleeve versus the 407's dry sleeve. A wet sleeve engine is very easy to overhaul, slip the old sleeves out clean things up and slip in the new ones. A dry sleeve is a different story. The dry sleeves have to be fitted just right or the piston will seize and chuck a rod thru the block. The only spendy item on the German is the fuel injector pump. Some parts for the pump are no longer made so they are high priced and hard to find.
