on a negative note, my 3.9 Premag 6er has always been a rough idling motor.
It has literally shaken itself to death. Both main seals are gone, I go
through valve cover gaskets like it's nothing, and there's enough blowby so
that smoke comes out of my valve cover breather constantly. 1 qt. of oil a
week, 165k miles. I babied that truck the first 4 years I owned it (bought
it in 95), but now that it's falling apart no matter how good I treat it I
figure I'm just gonna' run it into the ground... got a new motor and
everything for it anyway... Anyone got some N2O layin' around?
