Right around 1998.....not exactly sure ,but it ran great up to that point...Might be trashed if the pistons got fried...Oh well

Samiam:

That seems like a relatively new motor to have the type of problems you are describing. I'd be curious to hear what your mechanic says.

I'll probably wait until spring to tow it down,but will definately post the diagnosis.Just wanted a few advance thoughts so I don't get ambushed.Thanks
