Afternoon gents. Just bought a very very reasonably priced M52B28 and i just wondered about this whole Nickasil thingy.

What do i need to look out for? or is it just usa?

Its irrelevant now, just do a compression test before you go to the trouble of converting

Is is irrelevant because he has bought the engine already or is because it was a problem in the past, but not anymore?

Its irrelevant because the high sulphur fuel was around in the mid-late 90's which was 15 years ago now, any worn engines would have died by now if they were going to 8)

That's great news. So is there anything to look out for when buying an m52 2.8?
