well... that's comforting and disturbing at the same time. The car was first owned by a fanatical friend of mine who had the Mobil-1 changed every spring & fall for it's first six years and 17K miles... so few cars have been better maintained. It doesn't sound like this is a maint. issue though... rather the luck of the draw with respect to the engine block. Oh well... I hope I can get $19K for it.
