So what did the mechanic tell you was the problem?

He said "idler pulleys came unglued taking out belt, water pump, bending valves."

I guess I could think of it as spending all that money to keep a good vehicle running. Also, it is cool because it is a Monty but I also know that making decisions based on emotion leads to financial trouble...
