Nice HP bump over the M54. But I've never liked the idea of an aluminum sleeved magnesium block. I've heard lots of problems happen because of the aluminum bolts and thermodynamic characteristics of the different mating surfaces involved. IE: Lots of broken bolts, oil leaks, accessory bolts failing, etc.

We saw all of those when I worked at a local indy.
