The 2.7 has been great, she has 153K on it but was very cognizant of the sludge problem and never missed the 3K oil changes. About 5K miles ago the oil pan started leaking, and I have not had the time to look at it, so it will be the next owners problem. We never changed the water pump or any other engine part except the oil sending unit and the timing belt only because it had cracks as they all do. The thermostat housing cracked and started leaking, then sealed itself up after 10K miles of leaking and gumming up... How does a timing belt crack on an engine that don't have a timing belt? You had a 2.4 NOT a 2.7, very different engines. You are right, I must of been thinking of something else I was working on at the time, she definitely has a 2.7. The funny thing about science is that if you change one miniscule parameter you change the entire outcome to the way you want it. JB Rhinehart, Realist A-Body's RULE!
