Mmm, All I’ve ever heard about here and elsewhere is the 2,5’s. “LN engineering” (Nickes) and” Flat 6..” (our sponsor) dosn’t seem to discriminate though, so I guess your right.

I does seem 98/99 2.5L’s were particularly vulnerable. I had read some where that after some year they had sorted it out though. I’m just doing advance reconnaissance. I have 35k mi. and am pushing it pretty hard.. I’ll be amazed if dosn’t become another ugly statistic before long.
