Default Norvel .061 Diesel Conversion?

I have an earlier-series (small fin) Big Mig r/c .061 engine and a RJL Diesel conversion head. Both are NIB at the moment.

Does anyone have any experience with this conversion? I am tempted so that I can run the Norvel at less than mosquito-noise-level rpm with decently-sized propellers. I'm curious as to whether this is a 'friendly' conversion or something that needs constant fussing over to keep working. I'm also concerned about connecting rod life.

I've run Cippola Diesels in the past, but not extensively, and nearby Old Flying Buddy has vast Diesel experience.

Many thanks.
