Re: v10 vs v8
Well, it comes down to the year - the V10 replaced the 460. I think both are pretty reliable engines, though. The v10 is probably a bit more fuel efficient.okaynagan wrote:can you tell us about the v10 vs. the 7.5l v8? We are in search of that perfect b190 and have come across both in our hunt.

Re: v10 vs v8
thanks for the reply Skater. it seem like we heard something about the spark plugs blowing out in the v10.

Re: v10 vs v8
Looks like you're right - if the plugs aren't changed regularly and installed carefully when changed, they can blow out. If it does happen, apparently there is a helicoil (replacement threads) specifically for that application, which shouldn't be a super expensive repair.okaynagan wrote:thanks for the reply Skater. it seem like we heard something about the spark plugs blowing out in the v10.
