L10s/ M11s are a good engine.

Personally, I don't care for the L-10 or the M-11. I've worked on both and found that it's a pain keeping accessories such as A/C compressors attached. These engines vibrate too much.The top-end is no fun to work on, what with the large one piece head and the way the valve train is set-up. I'd much rather work on an NTC or an N14. At least they are better than a 903 or a 555.

Really?! I just did an in-frame on my m818 5ton with a nt855 and I thought the individual heads were a pain! Can't imagine huffing a single head on an engine that big...
