cuz the crank goes in then with very little abuse, besides that your right the 2.8 is a good motor, its just not for me :P i turned my bearings into tinfoil in only 5000km. btw whats your 2.8 in? the 2.8 in a rwd is what goes bad fast, the fwd cars seem to last a hell of alot longer

ya mine is in a rwd s-10, 88, but i did replace the crank and since then it has been perfect, i replaced it at about the 88k mark, and now i am at like 104 and it runs great, it does have a few electrical probs, but as far as power goes i have agood amount of t it seems to me, althought i have driven faster cars i think my truck does really good compare to wut alot of ppl say.
