Are the 6.0 M117 SOHC engines a nightmare?

Read more than one horror story with regards to the 6.0, but think they might be the DOHC version of this engine, not the SOHC... I know that a few people with them lurk here, and am seeking their inputs.

I have one (SOHC) and it is.... thunderous

Especially at highway speeds. And no headaches of 32V heads. There's the M119 for that.

It's fun. Get one!

Thinking about a certain 6L TE wagon, the uber-iWrock??

If that silver widebody recently posted checks out, I'd hit it over the black wagon.

Black wagon had its lower end grenade, thus a replacement block. Shop that did the work??

Id rather a car touched by AMG and left that way.
