what's wrong with the SDL now?

it likely has good resale value even with engine problems.

Gasoline SEL's are prevalent and cheap...
I'm just sayn...

the 617 is noisy, less powerful, and less smooth an operating motor. also, it requires 15K valve adjustments.

the 603 is a better engine in every way. yes, it can be expensive to repair when catastrophic damage is done, but avoiding damage is simple. just keep the oil changed regularly, and with the proper type, and flush the cooling system every 2 years, and maintain the belt system.
