Reliability and longevity shouldn't be confused, people.

   I still own the cantankerous 2.1 liter that we pulled out of my bus
after 170,000 miles of fairly dependable service.  It never ever died or
overheated, and didn't suffer from the myriad of EFI problems that other
people's 'boxers are susceptible to, but sure wrote the book on wobbly
cooling systems...radiator, rear heater core, a seta rebuilt heads, four
water pumps, two cracked fill tanks and blown hoses here and there.  As a
matter of fact, it developed the worst coolant leak of its life just
*days* before it was scheduled to be driven to the shop for its engine
transplant. <G>

   AAA Plus- don't leave home without it!
