I see no advantage in swapping an M44. M42 has forged internals, M44 doesn't.
the advantage being that you get a block already fitted with the 83.5mm crank instead of 81mm. Sure it's not much, but larger displacement is larger displacement.
:rolleyes:
On the topic of forged internals. Being that i am talking about over boring the m44 to increase displacement again, the pistons would be replaced by forgies. On the topic of the crank not being up to standard, i think the number of m44s running DASC setups with no crank issues says something about its 'apparent weakness'.
Keep in mind, im not talking of replacing an m42 with an m44, im talking about replacing an m42 with a modded m44. Part of the reason being availability and mileage, as stated above.
