Re: 95 540 Block analysis

You need to look at the casting numbers on the bottom front right of the block.  It's kind of hard to do without jacking up the car (and using jack stands!!!) Here are the
casting numbers courtesy of Brett Anderson.  If it's Nikasil, don't go near it.  It's at least a $6K repair and it's not "if it will fail"  it's "when."  Good luck

Nikasil M60B30    1 725 970 or  1 741 212
Nikasil M60B40    1 725 963 or 1 742 998
Alusil M60B30      1 745 871
Alusil M60B40      1 745 872
Alusil M62B44      1 745 873
