That's the first M119 motor I've heard of blowing up! Is it outside warranty period? Where did you find a replacement? And have you considered dropping in a 5 litre motor? It's the same on the outside, and I think may share most of the same electronics (i.e. fuel injection)

Sorry to hear of your troubles

Good luck!
