OK, whatever..... he's got almost 100,000 on it.... Its not like its a
crissis or anything, he's probably just got a valve guide seal worn or
something silly like that.... for god's sake do you really expect it to run
it 100% bran freakin new like it had 10 mi on it...... SURE, ok...... you
know what, on second thought, you ARE right, he should pull the engine,
rebuild it or put a bran new long block in it.... that will justify the
extra 1.50 he has to spend every 3000mi on oil then......
