Default Re: Rust inside engine block

That's a good point Kurt makes. I live 12 miles from the nearest town so when I start my engine I am most likely going 24 miles up and down hills. My mom lived 1/2 mile from her work (in cold New England) and rarely went anywhere else.. Zero freeways. I have a DD with 200k and factory oil pressure and compression. Her Dodge neon was toast at 30k (and 12 years). You gotta get um up to temp. Exhaust? Mine original, mom's had 3 complete exhausts.
