[QUOTE="ANGREY, post: 16350525, member: 188865"] You guys can debate which MY had more mechanical issues, my own personal opinion is that there's no definitive data on the matter and even if there were, I don't think the engine block is proximate to the issue. It's probably more to do with blowby and valve seats. But his point is valid. If you're not going to put a blower on your voodoo, then having the previous gen or the latest gen isn't really going to matter. The improvements to the block were for better cooling to the rear cylinders and more strength in the valley for blown applications. It's equally as inconsequential for someone with the original gen 5.2 block to think it's inferior as someone with the latest to think it's superior. Unless of course you plan on running a blower, then those improvements have utility. [/QUOTE]
