Well the board has a lot of posters that have had good luck with the engine - and luck maybe the proper choice of words here as despite your efforts to maintain the car properly it was likely doomed from the prior sludge incident.
So much to my dismay I had engine problems - stretched timing chain and some evidence of oil starvation and I feel like the clock is ticking on my engine as occasionaly the lifters do tick and I think the oil pressure may be somewhat low.
I bought the car as a lease return with 12 k miles - so it coud be that the oil was never changed in that period - and the engine was on a downward slide from that point forward.
Too many variables and too expensive a fix if the engine goes bad - there are far more reliable cars available.
