I hope they weren't anticipating the need for these as it would indicate about a 25% failure rate. Wouldn't you love to know what they know, but we don't...and they're not telling...??

Hi, Jim 99,
I think I may have confused with the #'s I quoted.
The original eng.# was 65305353 in a Jan.03 build however, the replacement eng.# is 65465750 and was put in 3 weeks ago. I'm assuming the numbers run sequentually for each engine size therefore 160397 engines have been built between these dates.
Does this tally with your thinking?
Cheers,
Glenn
