any chance you're willing to let that head go?

Sorry Dave - I took it to the wrecker this afternoon to get my core deposit back.

I'd be trying to figure out why it burned now...

No sense in calling it fixed unless you know what caused it, that's how I feel anyway.

Uhm.... for all the work you just did. I'd certainly hope it lasts longer than 400km.

The engine has over 400,000KM on it - not too worried about what caused this. Planning an ECO swap in the summer.
