The more racing oriented here can chime in on this.

It does require quite a few special tools. While there don't seem to be many rebuilders here in the states, a brit firm called Autofarm does quite a job rebuilding them and in fact making them better - http://www.autofarm.co.uk/

Yesterday i received the maintainence history of my vehical which was sent to me from the dealer I bought it from. This is basically the cars history from before I bought it. Does anyone know what the following mean and if they might have any bearing on or been an indication of future engine failure?

13poz engine elictrical
14pozce check engine light (2 times within 1 week this appears)
22poz driveshaft/diff
11poz engine repair mi

I am particularly interested in the last two because they happened one month (or less) prior to me purchasing the vehical. I think maybe the very last one was done after the vehical was traded in because there is also a line for buyers guide and detailing, but none for a loaner car. Again, any help would be very much appreciated. I as told the car was tip top with no past problems.

If anyone is to decipher what could have been related to your failure, we would need to know the specifics of that repair.
