Well, add a cracked exhaust manifold to the list of things to do (thank the lord for good access). Appears a common problem. I noticed an exhaust leak noise on the test drive but wasn't up to speed on this being a common issue. My guess was a donut gasket ...

The brakes can be upgraded to 03 specs which supposedly helps. So far the first 100 miles were uneventful.

I found a lot of people with 130k on the first belt (one lady with 400k) so no rush on the timing belt either, IMHO.

Thanks again everyone!

George
