Just make sure the harmonic balancer has been updated, and you're good to go. Pretty much a no-brainer choice, IMHO.

So basically you're trying to tell us that the newer engine is better than the older one overall. Must be the first instance I've read someone admit that something new from MB in the 1990s was better than the older one it replaced.
