Hi,

S54 Engine in production between
Feb 2001 and June 2003 were all
subjected to the 'Bottom end''
recall.

As your car was 2002 and more than
likely running a 2002 built engine
then it would have been subjected
to the recall.

The issue with the shells was identified
prior to CSL engine [ S54 Short block]
production started, although one or two blocks
could have been used ?

As regards changing shells that's more a type of use
and mileage consideration, if your still making
good oil pressure, then personally I would
leave well alone, unless its some sort of
dedicated Race Car or Track Weapon seeing
high revs for most of its running hours.

Regards,

The Gorilla.
