Yeah, the car's coming up on 84,000 miles so there's probably some stuff I could check out at the same time (lifters,etc). The IMSB and RMS were done by the previous owner about a year ago so that should be okay. I guess I'll check around to see how much it will cost to remove/replace the engine and transmission as I don't have a lift in my dinky garage.

Any suggestions before I get my hands dirty?
