buyers remorse

They were. Oil changed every 3,000 miles, never was driven long with a check engine light on etc and weren't run hard either as that would have killed the tranny. It is a 97 though....

Were the LIM gaskets ever changed to the revised ones? If not, that could have been your problem. Either that or you were knocking like crazy and never knew it...

My car has over 200k. I am the third owner. except for suspension component wearing out fast because I live in NYC the car has been greatly reliable.

Engine #3 just had the LIM change. #1 went on the highway as the oil pump died a very sudden death. #2 had a much slower death as something in the bottom end went over the course of 2 weeks as the car made less and less power, still ran though when it was yanked for #3.

As for knock, its completely stock minus the intake.
