It's as much a pain as any other swap. Mostly in the wiring, I'm guessing. Everything else should bolt right up though. I've always planned on this swap after I tire out the M52. It sure would be...

No, you're right, if it's coming from that side of the engine, then it's less likely to be an exhaust leak.

What we don't want is a rod knock and it does sound a bit like that. For now, let's put...
