16 Valve worries 700 1990

posted by  someone claiming to be Dave P. on  Wed Apr 4 15:26 CST 2001 [RELATED]

I have a 740GLE with the 16 valve DOHC engine (160k on odo.). I have been told by a local mechanic that they are a nightmare of a motor and that they could "grenade" at any time due to inherent excess vibrations.

Any insight you may have would be appreciated re: maintenance or replacement, or what I can expect in the future from this motor.

Thanks
