Pro's: somewhat dependable, make good power with turbo, ok on gas.
Con's: oil leaking bitch, jet valves, timming chain and guides always need replaced, and it used to cost a small fortune for parts. Alt's were like $500, starters $300, 10 years ago.

True, shifter bushings cost a ton, hehe. Whats the deal with the jet valves my bro tried explaining them to me but didnt work, since he doesnt totally understand them either. I'd love to turbo this little thing but its carbuerated, so wouldnt be to efficient but would still be fun

Jet valves had something to do with emmisions....i think. They are somewhat of a mystery around here too as to their primary function. Some tech's have said that they can be removed and plugged off. I dunno for sure, I do know they were used mostly on Cali. and high altitude american motors. And about all Jap 2.6L's
