Headstuds, headstuds, headstuds...
Pay and get a PPI, if the headstuds are good proceed, if they are not, deduct 2500... Just like anything, buy the nicest you can find. Not many of the rust issues, but if it was driven in salt, I would keep looking. With CIS it will let you know if it's not happy, drive it warm, shut if off, make sure it restarts east, idles right ect. I love my 75, I've driven quite few SC's. Little bit of a learning curve driving one all out... I still don't have the confidence I did in my 914-6. Ferg |
