This also only applied to those engines with a nikasil bore treatment of aluminum engine blocks. This means it only applied to the 3.0 and 4.0 liter V8 engines in the US and to certain aluminum block 6 cylinder engines in the european market. No 6 cylinders in the US market ever had the problem.

This is a non-issue IMO. -Fred
