Hi,

In the Sept 08 Marine Engine Selection Guide the asterisk next to this engine indicates that you need to check for LOCAL availability.

They are very much still available as far as I am aware.

I have recently seen an article where a Series 60 was stripped at some sort of technical show/presentation after 1,000,000 miles and everything was checked, most of it could be used again.

I seem to recall that a trucking co out of Alabama maybe JB Hunt were used as a test bench for the first of those engines and they were stripped at around the same mileage with similar results.
