I have an 86 with the manual 5 speed. It had a damaged valve train when I bought it, and after looking and guessing and looking as to the best repair I bought an 89 M103 from John Hef. It was hooked to an automatic. We took the flywheel from the 86 and slid it on to the 89, installed the engine and have no balance or vibration problems. It is as smooth as silk. Was I just lucky.
