BTW his '91 850 has about 200,000 miles on the engine. So much for the Terrible V12 engine reputation
I personally think that "bad V12" is a myth. I've seen alot of them run in the "BIG" miles and virtually it's the ad ons that wear out (waterpump, thermostats,etc) mechanically they are fantastic. I'd like to build a "retro-rod" and power it with a V12. It's all the crap they bog it down with that curses its' integrity.
