"Did Larry use regular
across country or midgrade per the engine builders instructions?  I have
the same engine with 15K miles on it from a cross country trip last June
and it never missed a beat.  I am ready for trip #2.  I also suggest
with any high performance upgrades, you also switch to synthetic
lubricants.  I don't leave home without AMSOIL in the crankcase.  It's a
bargain!"

-If yours is a revision E 2.2L your days are numbered, the metalurgy (sp?) in those
"vortex" pistons is consistently questionable and causing repeated failures.
