There was some talk about it a while ago, but I think it was all just speculation.

No changes, other than the little incremented ones that have been showing up for the last year, like the new ESS sensor standoff and the last revision OMP.

And of course a relocated (or easier access) dipstick

MM, interesting...I didnt realise they had done that. Should be a simple retro fit?

The ESS sensor shroud is part of the engine front cover. You would have to pull the motor.
The OMP pump is a bolt on thing, but I'm not sure what they changed, really.
