Also, to refute that the guy who started this post and his tuner friend who either don't have a clue or are blowing smoke at all of us or both.
I'm not trying to be argumentative either because I'm genuinely curious. You could say that because the N52/53/54 engines all have the same 91 mm bore spacings and open-deck construction as the M52/54 that they are based off the "old block" but this is not the case at all. Anyways, guess I'll just have to wait for more solid information to firm up. I'm sure there will be a whole ton of information available on this engine once it's out, along with an SAE paper or two hopefully.
