Tabe,


The previous owner of my Syncro's mechanic replaced one head at some
point and about 10k miles later replaced the other.  Except for one
leaky lifter that sometimes taps, it has worked OK for about 30-35k
miles after the 2nd head was replaced.   I can't remember the exact
mileages but that is close.  It has been a long time since I read those
repair receipts.


But the lack of power in general and the frequent low oil pressure
warnings at 202k on the engine have me thinking Conversion.


Sam
