I took my motor out, had it rebuilt and ported, bolted up some goodies during the reinstall, and had to leave for college before it ran. Now its still sitting, roughly 500 miles from here, waiting for help and troubleshooting (its not getting spark methinks, so into the electrical stuff I'll be diving) though it gets fuel and cranks. Just because the motor only has 3 moving parts doesn't mean its a simple system. There are literally like 80 individual vaccum hoses running just the turbos. I just haven't posted about it before, so you're not alone. Josh

30k on the motor or the chasis? there is, of course, a big difference. at 30k the motor could be gone, at 30k on the chasis, the car (assuming in good shape) is worth about $20k+. my motor (supposedly the second) was at like 35k miles, the apex seals were fine but the coolant (water) seal was bad. so, it had to be torn down and a new one put in, and while it was out, why not have a little porting done? if only it ran, then I'd be happy again.
