the engine has 30k on it, verified by the owners manual. Oil was clean, didn't smell burnt. Intake ports were clean as a whistle as well as exhaust ports were clean. Spark plugs also showed normal wear from 30k miles of use, no major oil leaks, just a little weaping from the rear seal. My old engine was 100% junk, it sat outside for a while with no protection, all of the K-jet was gone, just a wasted piece of junk. Only good part on it was the lower cradle. I haven't gotten an answer back from Steven, he does have a premier PRV in is car. I wouldn't go with a stage II engine mainly due to cost and performance. I would rather go with one the Mcfly Motorsports engine or Eddies built turbo engine. I would say that those guys build some nice engines for a good price. I've seen Ken Bakers Stage II car and its nice, haven't been in it for a spin but I've been in a stock delo and anything is faster and more powerful than a diesel Mercedes putting out 125 hp, 175 ft lbs. Well, just as but the acceleration bit is fun. I'm going to order some more parts, well add to my order since it hasn't shipped. New exhaust studs with OE gaskets, water pump seal, thermostat, y-pipe o-rings, front main seal, and soon as I get an answer the intake seals. ------------------------------------ To address comments privately to the moderating team, please address: moderators@xxxxxxxxxxx For more info on the list, tech articles, cars for sale see www.dmcnews.com To search the archives or view files, log in at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/dmcnewsYahoo!
