3 yrs 70,000 miles
Well the rex blew up about 20 minutes ago. I was driving up a hill under part throttle and she went kaboom. now she is running off one rotor. PMS if giving crazy numbers and she wont idle. I limped her home to the garage and will start yanking the motor tonight.

I feel your pain, man. I was in the same boat last month....bad coolant seals for about half a year, then a failed main bearing.
In your new engine, you might want to request Teflon water seals. I've heard good things about them and my hopes are that it'll end this failed coolant seal crap.....

in 2 days im gonna disassemble the engine and see how everything looks. I'd do a rebuild myself, but i dont trust the shaky hand with a port job. Maybe a re man, i really havent decided yet. My budget isnt real tight, but when oyu start figuring in extras,(broke the p/spulley today among other things) it gets tighter.
