    I know they go great, sound awesome and use more fuel than the diesel.

    On the FFRR site their seem to be a few more issues with them than the diesel - like the cooling and fuel systems, but they seem to be an ok motor if well maintained.
    If you need to contact me please email homestarrunnerau@gmail.com - thanks - Gav.

    I beleive the Nikasel issue was solved by BMW in the previous engine.
    IIRC we have the M62 and the problem was in the
    M60.....

    From a UK site a while ago, the main problem was with a plastic cooling pipe at the rear of the engine which should be replaced often, or it splits and ****es all the coolant out.
    I think the Nikasil problem was overcome, as it was due to rich mixtures washing oil off the cylinder walls, and also was more prevalent in the UK and USA.
