I need to speak up and tell you folks that all Tiicos are not bad. I do not have
a vibration problem. I am not using oil. The engine does not overheat. it has
smooth power curve and all the power I need. It will get 22mpg if I keep at
55mph that with a 4 speed and 14" tires. I did have to replace the oil pan
gasket and the valve cover gasket. The original exhaust header broke and had to
replaced do to no reinforcements on pipes also I have replaced two mufflers. We
have 80k on engine using Mobile one 15-50. All in all I am a happy camper so
far. If this is just a fluke or good karma  or as someone once said plain old
luck I will take it and be grateful to what ever gods their may be.
