No you're exactly right on all that.

I guess more than anything I wanted to get a feel for what all that shows meant and if it were obvious sings hat it was bout done. I am hoping that I can get another 50k out of it just the way it looks in there before anything is needed.

Now that was or better yet, it is still the plan and for exactly the same reason you mention, I don't want to dump a lot of money in it only to get burned out before it is done. I have seen lots of high build threads that just went cold.

As far as the engine, its true, it was running good and no noticeable issues other then the codes for knock sensors. So we'll continue plowing ahead.

thanks a lot.
