Mine was babied and the gears in the oil pump wore away a much bigger opening in the oil pump housing before jamming and damaging some bearings at 80K. It ran like a top until then. Had a friend rebuild it and had it balanced. Fun car- it was an '89 LX 5.0 Sport convertible. Cabernet Red with tan top and tan cloth seats. Swapped for some OEM Pony wheels I got off a trade in. I remember the advertising- "225 horses and bound to kick something." But it had 300 lb/ft of torque, so it felt strong.
