The diagnostic sign that it is indeed the crankshaft sensor is that revs drop to zero despite the engine still turning. The cable goes from the bell housing at the transmission to the ignition module...

Found the reason

Just wanted to report back as I have identified the problem.
It seems like excessive heat destroyed the oxygen sensor.

thanks for the tips

No, I have not used any silicone-containing sealant.
I'll check the heating and drain the fuel.

Unlikely

I have no direct experience, but it looks like a clear case to me:
As long as there is no loss of coolant there is no problem.
Engine cooling does not rely on heat radiation by the heater (if so,...

normal

Indeed the engine revs quite high at highway speed. My wagon is even worse due a different differential gear ratio. I guess the 5 speed transmission of the later model years is a useful upgrade....

Driveshaft nut too tight

I guess you had to collapse the driveshaft to get the flex discs out? To do so, you probably loosened the big (48mm?) nut in the middle of the shaft where the front and rear halves meet.
The manual...

I think is a very good deal.
I paid 3000$ for a head job plus bearing bracket and EGR pipe. 600$ was for the machine shop, 1400 was for labor and the rest was for parts.

Good luck, Bruno

40ml for the evaporator and 10ml for the receiver/drier. This is for part exchanges. An extra 10ml is added when refrigerant (and some oil) was lost due to a leak. Total volume of the system is 120ml...

The offset is 15 on these, on 124 rims it is usually 48 or 49mm. From this difference I guess they only fit with modification (spacers?).

No

The service CD (aka WIS) is way much better. Alldata lacks stuff, is often not model-specific, procedures are not well explained etc.
