215,000 or thereabouts. It's time for a different (younger) motor. I'm not going to put much into this to fix it because it's going to be one of those "while you're in there" $10K experiences. I'd rather find a good 3.2 and sell my 3.0 as a rebuild candidate. But I need a few more months out of the motor. It runs well, I just want to understand if I'm hearing the beginning of the end. Most mechanical things will talk to you when they are suffering. At this point, it's more like a whisper.
