 >>how many of you 2.1L owners are on your second engine, and if so, at what
 mileage did you replace it? and what was the reason for failure?   how many
 of you have over 200k mi on your original engine (without rebuild) ??<<

i'd appreciate if all of ya with the 2.1L would take the time to respond- and
post your experience w/ your engine to the list..  im not trying to start
some annoying thread, i just think that hearing input from all the
listmembers with the 2.1L (or those of you with a 1.9L feel free to post the
stats on when you replaced your engine too) would be beneficial to all..  im
trying to just see what the average failure rates are for these particular
engines.
appreciate your response-
TIA
