I did finaly get the trunk open, it seems it could be simpler . . . but I just need to remember how I did it . . .
Here are some copies of the service records . . . what do you think happened? Notice at 28911 mi it needs a vacuum pump (or rebuild)
At 67000 mi it has no power & smokes, it needs a timing chain . . . plus . . .
Page 2 Is that a cylinder head for $980? Why would it need that?
At 82153 mi it has a oil habit!
(has not used oil yet, only about 175 mi . . .)
