>> Why is your engine being rebuilt for second time in 200K? <<

For some reason the second owner had a new "made in Canada" reman in their van at around 100K. At 106K they had a fuel leak down in DE and when it was towed back to PA it was towed in gear and melted their new rebuild. They gave up on the van and sold it to my mechanic for $500. He sourced out a used case, used heads, etc. That was 12 years ago. I now have what appears to be an original 1.9 that was running taken from one of Chris's vans at JordanView. I am going to have that one rebuilt as apposed to the one in my van now.

Thanks, Bryan
