To go along with with what many of the others have said, I had an 1981 895 Versatile with an 855 Cummins engine in it.
It had quite a few hours with no problems. One summer we got a water leak in the radiator and we got in the habit of adding plain water every day.

This engine was turboed and aftercooled and was rated at 360 hp.
