Our TiiCo didn't vibrate, (much) didn't use oil, never overheated, had
decent power, got 24.5 MPG on a couple of occasions and never leaked oil.
 Typical TiiCo exhaust pipe cracking issues were corrected using flex joint
exhaust pipes.

But at 90,000 miles when the bottom end began knocking, gone goodbye.
