Wow, Shamer Nice coverage.
That really clears up a lot for the old search.
I kinda knew about the valve guide seals having issues but I didn't know what years primarily had the problems.

I do like the Gen 2.5 and may consider looking at those as well. As for Gen 3 I am not sure ... Haven't heard too many good reports about them and am not totally in love with the body style.

Thanks again for the report. I will be on the site to learn all I can from the veterens and I'll keep ya posted on the progress.
