There is a little more in there than that!...Greg
Actually I have been lucky with it because I've been running it slightly on
the rich side and the block is still a low mileage
original (less than 30K)
It's also got a ton of bolt-ons under the hood and under the truck as
well...
The reason why it's held up so far is that Bernd put together a very
well thought out and tested package, and I've been very careful to try and
avoid detonantion with this 3.9......
As for 4 leaf clovers?........NAAAAAA!.....our minister came by and blessed
it one evening while I was working on putting it together!
The POWER of PRAYER and FAITH can do wonders!!
