How true (from what I have read).

The good news Victor, is your M103 in question, is one of the best for longevity... I don't think it has a replacement interval so if your oil has been, and does get changed regular just listen for chainslap when you start it up, and change it if you ever have to get in there deep to do somthing else... maybe if you did the front timing cover seal after 250,000 or so... You might want to check it for strech if you want to be on the safe side.
