Good morning gentlemens and ladies! I'm planning to upgrade(or downgrade) my ageing l-jet m20b20 for either m42 or m50(non vanos, shoot me). Any workshop that you guys want to recommend(card accepted? budget?). Also pro and cons of these engines or other engines based on your experience. Let the discussion begins Smile

if your bugdet is big the go m50,if samll m42,m50 very powerful ,a bit nose heavy,but u dont autocross do you?m42 is a very lively engine,may not be the power source u need but still fun....
