Changing M54 to S54...

Surface treatment is something called NEDOX, gives a hard surface with very low friction, it's used a lot by scania and volvo in there truck engines.

Is that similar to shot peening?

This is excellent stuff.

What are the main areas where you are going a different route to the normal installation? I’d be really tempted to try and get the engine mass lower and further back, for example, even if it meant looking at other sump and ancillary options.
