AC7M9 V2 info anyone?
AC7M9 V2 info anyone?
I just had my engine replaced for the second time.
first time around ~30k. this time at 69k. (thank God, i was still under warranty)
First there was teh AC7M1, then the AC7M9, now the AC7M9 v2?
On my reciept from the dealer, i had my engine replaced with the AC7M9 originally, and this time also, it shows the same part #.
(tomorrow I will have to check the block to confirm its a v2)
Does anyone have any idea what entails inside this new V2 replacement?
reading the other thread about the TSB. someone mentioned that it might be an HR motor. That is technically impossible since 80% of the engine was redesigned. You cant possibly take an HR long block and just slap it onto this engine and expect it to be seamless. However I can imagine a possible hybrid. For example, the cylinderes/pistons rings/valves are coated on the HR motor to decreased friction. Maybe they introduced something like that to the V2?
honestly i just want to know if anyone knows exactly what they did. We can speculate all day on this, but is there anyone really knowledgeable on this?
