The S54s need rod bearings after hard tracking...and that isn't an inexpensive fix, yet people still do it. Suck it up and move on, IMO.

I don't know, with the S54 you get, well, an S54. One expects higher running costs for a low tolerance, high output engine. And the S54 is one of a kind. You change rod bearings because it's driven as it's meant to. With the 128, there's a whole other N52 available that doesn't have this issue, and it's as sweet as engines come. Sucks when a typical maintenance item is so utterly complicated as to price people out of keeping the cars, and the 128 is supposed to be _the_ car to keep.
Hopefully y'all will figure something out to the contrary.
