i also found out that it has the 4.1L whish were known to failure of the intake manifold gasket due to scrubbing of the bi-metal interface, aluminum oil pump failure, cam bearing displacement, weak aluminum block castings and bolts pulling the aluminum threads from the block..... hoping none of this happens or it will go to the scrapyard
