I will see if I can dig up info on what was replaced in the documentation I have. If I recall correctly, Marc did a pretty extensive rebuild on it.


Since I bought it, I haven't put very many miles on it. I have replaced a lot of parts (injectors, coils, plug wires, starter, vacuum lines, water pump, radiator etc.) but this is my first time having any internal engine issues with it. I run Amsoil and a wix filter for every oil change and I'm easy on it until the oil is up to temp.
