Im the 3rd owner,there was no history that came along with it.Being a member of this forum since I bought the car I am aware for the myriad problems that come with these. I have thrown money at it and kept it on the road. My question for all of you is this,Ive put 4000 of the 168000 miles on the car and there has never been any smoke. Would the stem seals have needed replaced by now? Think they've already been done? Think I got lucky and have a tight engine,except for the Fu!@# alternator bracket gasket? Thanks for any reply
