Thinking about bottom end or wherever else it might fail. I know there can be problems with the cylinders (sleeves?). I’ve also heard that one will let go, if it’s going to, regardless of what you do with it.

Thanx PK

If it were me, I would not invest any real dough in a 2.5 engine. I don't think the motor set any records for durability.

There is no replacement for displacement.
