...purchased '90 740 turbo(auto) wagon w/112000 mi. seems to run fine. engine sounds okay at idle if i listen to it from outside the car, gas mileage is about 22. is it worth the time/effort to do a clearence check, or should i remain in the 'if it ain't broke, don't fix it' school of thought.
...
i'm the type that can cram a 2 hour job into 2 days and loose half my tools in the process. i'm also somewhat impoverished.
...
tia, flaps.
