"Did Larry use regular across country or midgrade per the engine builders instructions? I have the same engine with 15K miles on it from a cross country trip last June and it never missed a beat. I am ready for trip #2. I also suggest with any high performance upgrades, you also switch to synthetic lubricants. I don't leave home without AMSOIL in the crankcase. It's a bargain!"

-If yours is a revision E 2.2L your days are numbered, the metalurgy (sp?) in those "vortex" pistons is consistently questionable and causing repeated failures.
