That car was curious. At 150,000 miles, the inside of this engine looked just like a pristine sewing machine.
I TOLD Ed the car must have been a full synthetic car before he ever mentioned the sticker oil change evidence he had found from the last owner. No need to bullsh!t, this motor was WELL taken care of.

That said, I have never heard a more quiet impending camfailure car than this one. More like a loose chain tensioner if one asked my first opinion of the engines' unusual chatter.

We followed due diligence and got to the root of the problem. This car has a guardian angel. And now this little engine will live a lot longer.

Nice work guys. I still have a hankering for a V8 SHO. Just for the sound honestly.

Honestly, I have to admit, I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE the song of 32 valves as it revs to 6K and shifts. Then I get to 25 mph... The fact that I can rev for days and make such a glorious sound (thanks to Flowmaster exhaust and 2.5" pipes) AND still not get arrested for speeding makes every drive of a V8 SHO such a pleasure.

Now, exhibition of speed...that's a different kettle of fish....

So my first car was a 1996 SHO. And of course I put Flowmaster 40 series on it first. Then I got the cam gears welded. Because priorities.
