Ed,
Sorry to hear about your motor. Hopefully this will be the end of your bad luck.

Bob it's been one frickin thing after another all year. I can't wait for the calender to turn so maybe next year will be better. I can't really complain about the engine. 5 years with no real issues until today. I doomed myself by telling Mike Keown the other day how reliable it was. It got the lifter and the camshaft. I won;t know until I get it apart what else it did. At least it did it when I was driving into the water not on the pass. As soon as it sounding like it was running on 5 cylinders I killed it. I have more pics. later
