Even more fun when the mainshaft and pilot bearing welded themselves together and the torque tube assembly wouldn't separate from the engine. Yay. Ever replace a turbo on one? And deal with broken exhaust studs in the process? Non- interference valve train was nice when the timing belt broke though. Other than that, nothing a rock on the throttle and a launch off a cliff wouldn't cure.
So, I am sensing that you don't much like the 924.
