I really do hope she survives and you get her back up to snuff. I really do like the fact that it's a wagon.HAHAAHAHAHAH
It's not really crazy, if something was that serious I would have known by now. It will get sorted here this month. I figure the 41+ runs down the drags in the last few mos. would have more than destroyed it if this was "teetering on the edge of doom" type deal plus it's sporadic and with it on cold/hot starts only, it has to be oil-pressure related timing chain tensioner...but we will see and you'll hear it first here on the World Famous BITOG!
Then again, I'm sitting back looking at what you're putting that car through with the video attached and I'm thinking to myself..... When I used to run turbo Subaru, one minor "tick" and rods get sent through the intake manifold, but you're full sending it and nothing.
This is bs. The more I think about it, the more I'm not liking you.
