The engine has problems with heat and engine "skipping"( it will buck heavily when hot ), and other fun problems ( mainly ingnition system ). The cooling system is fully functional but it just not keeping up with the engine. Plus with only about 110 hp, I need a bit more power. The only thing I will be paying for is the labor, my mechanic will give me the engine parts free. Thanx Keith or Kristen, Jeremy.
