Percentages are worthless to discuss, everyone wants a "number" to either scare them to death or make them feel all warm and fuzzy inside.. Fact is, no one knows exactly how many engines were built, and without that data no percentage can be figured.

Pedro's engine had only been IMS Retrofitted for a couple of months before it snapped a rod in half. Last time I talked to him he was looking for another used engine and I recommended that he just remove the IMS bearing from the scattered engine and use it again in the replacement. I have no idea if he did this or not.

How good is your luck? Thats just about what it equates to and thats no joke.

Taking your chances with this engine is like Russian Roulette, instead of a revolver holding 6 rounds, the engine has 6 cylinders. Sometimes you hear a bang, sometimes you don't.
