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.

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.

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

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.
