DAVE E, I really can't give any specific numbers for leak down or know oil consumption. All valid points. If I decide to purchase the PPI will reveil alot. As you mentioned the chain tensioner is a good idea regardless.

BROTHER, he's asking 19,000.00. He's put alot of money into the car recently. Then again alot of it is due to DE driving. I plan on doing some DE events with mostly weekend driving. 17 weekend DE events does indeed wear the motor out. I'd hate to end up rebuilding the engine for that money when I could have just purchased a later car with lower mileage never DE'd.

INFRARED CAMERA, thanks for the direction of the FAQ.

After listening to you guys and your input I think I'd better do some research and get better informed before diving into a car.

I can't thank all of you enough in taking the time to share your experience and opinions!
