At least they started with a solid design. The opposing cylinder BMW motors were great. Now I guess it just depends on how much vodka was consumed by the QC department when they were building yours.

Don't worry they're not all that bad, you may have got a good one.

I'm with you Mark, I don't trust any twinkie after 02. I'm waiting to see what the crank runout on the M8 looks like

I thinking that there's so much slop in the engine that it doesn't matter. Seems like if they're gonna crap out, they do it when they're relatively new. About 16k on mine and runs like a fine tuned can of nuts and bolts

as much as everyone loves to make fun of the AMF years, at least they could keep the crank true enough to run gears instead of a chain
