OTOH, the newer motors make more power than the 175-190hp of the older generation 3.2Ls.
Hey Swede,

Well, they may not burn it, but they sure do leak it!!! Any idea where to look? She had the head gasket replaced about a year or so ago, but now its dripping pretty good underneath. Do you think it could be the pan gasket or maybe something worse? I know, I know, impossible to guess without looking at it, but maybe you know of some common stuff?

Thanks - Bart

PS - How much do you know about the even older Trooper engines? I am probably going to buy and 88-90 this summer once the VX is paid off and turn it into a full time wheeler/trail banger.
