Oh, I don't know about thatCJMT100. I recall you getting advised of this by folks on this board. I know one fella in particular who pointed it out to you some time ago.

ToyT100, there is no generic fix for age. Things wear, and then wear out. Sure, you could rebuild the engine now, or wait until the bearings start tapping. Myself, I'd wait.

Generically, good routine maintenance, particularly of the fluids, will keep things going for a long time.
