    2002 ??? Hmmm, I guess I missed that year's model.

    Well I bought a new longblock rebuilt engine today, from Dahmer's Powertrain in Missouri. It has a three year warranty. I also found a replacement oil pan. The engine will arrive in Iowa City where my car rests tomorrow. With a little luck I'll be back in business in a couple of weeks.
    Thanks for your encouragement.
