Wow, talk about self destructing! So I guess I am lucky I have a 1.9 and
nobody wants them anymore?
My plan is to either get this 1.9 rebuilt (its done great so far) problem
is we don't have as many good mechanics here in the south as you guys out
west.
The other idea and way pricier is to take a loan out and get a 2.2 from
Vanistan.com; beautiful engines. I like the idea of sticking with a WBX
since I know.
