I documented this at the other place. I'll try to do it here. There might be less noise and more technique. If it gets off-track, so be it. I bought Speedy in January 2019. The price was near the bottom of the market. That's the way I have always played.
I got 10,000 enjoyable miles from the car and nearly a full year. I did most everything I could do in those first months to assure maintenance was up to date and the car was as solid as could be. Finally, after being parked for a couple of weeks, I decided to drive Speedy, to work, on a nice day in December. We don't get many of those around here. I didn't get far. The car was difficult to start and after about a mile and a half from home, the MIL started flashing and I could feel a misfire. I turned around and parked Speedy and took my other car to work.
A few days later, I had this out.
I'll try to tell the story in more detail. The car has been a blast. Building the engine was a great experience. Maybe others can gain from this experience, as well.
