The price should be cheap enough to toss the car if te engine fails. One must not forget that the failure rate of this engine is btw 5 & 10%. If you want to argue it is not that high, what are you willing to accept? A 2% rate is still awful. A good engine R&R costs over $20K. I would actually consider buying a failed one and sending it to Jake Raby at "RED". jvm

Interesting numbers. I assume you have data to back up your assertion?
