First bullet point says "BRAND NEW! 2.0 liter HIGH OUTPUT engine (135 hp @ 4800 rpm) 10:1 compression ratio with an anti knock sensor." That ALMOST says "new engine" to me, and without the "!" I'd say it WAS a brand new engine. But that "!" worries me. -- Mike "Rocket J Squirrel" Elliott 71 Type 2: the Wonderbus 84 Westfalia: Mellow Yellow ("The Electrical Banana") 74 Utility Trailer.
