I had the original engine replaced a few years ago, when it was at 256k miles. The replacement engine was from a 1990 and had about 110k miles when it was put in. Now it has about 177k miles. I just changed the plugs about a month ago, all looked good, though did have some black soot looking deposits on the rim surrounding the center electrode, not totally clean. But I know the car runs rich under heavy throttle/high boost due to the modifications I have done. I can't really say how well the engine was taken care of before I got it, unfortunately. But, it doesn't use any oil (my old engine did unless I used 15w40 regular oil) and it runs great. I still haven't been able to replicate the problem, though granted I haven't been trying that hard. :)
I'm going into the shop next Tuesday and I'll try to remember to have them do a compression check.
Thanks!
Aaron Gilbert
