I had our 2.1L checked before we purchased the van in 2003 and again after
the drive home, Berkeley, CA to Anchorage, AK, both tests averaged 165lbs
per cyl.  The engine had obviously been rebuilt at some point but the
seller had no history on it as he had purchased the van to flip and
providing its history would have revealed the odometer readings had been
rolled back.  It was then and still is a good van and a reasonable price
when we bought it but I would have pushed for a lower amount had we known
the truth.
