Mr. DeWolfe - Thanks for your input. My mechanic is one of only two professionals in town willing to work on cars of this vintage. I see a lot of older Volvos, Saabs, Audis, and VWs in his shop whenever I need to visit him. He's given me plenty of good info and I do trust him. He's mentioned some time ago that my cam was worm as well as the timing gear and suspected my engine had less than a year to go. That was optimistic, I guess.

I'm not entirely sure how healthy the engine is otherwhise. She leaks plenty of oil, but only burns a tiny bit when I start her up. She runs great once she's warmed up, but she does have to warm up for a while. She has just under 185,000 miles on her. She seems like she was well taken care of, as the car is super clean inside and out. No rust. Few dents. Good tranny.

I do believe I'll start searching for a replacement of some sort. I'd like to get her running again in the near term. Then I can begin rebuilding my B20b myself. I think if I take my time with that I can do it properly.

Thanks again for your input.
