I think a series 92 say 8V92 TA Silver might be a better fit for the space, and comparable to what they have now, but better. They have an 8V71 right now. Here is the latest news from them on their Facebook site:
"Well folks - this confirms it. The words quick, easy and inexpensive are officially out of the repair vocabulary. Any one have a spare 8v71 laying around?
The lower bank of cylinders is where the damage is - they are running 100 degrees cooler than the top bank, and oil flows freely into the blower drain and even into the exhaust. There is however no coolant getting into the oil, and the engine still has 'good compression'."
