Oh.  I guess I'd heard it shouldn't be put in older cars but I didn't think 
that "over 10k miles" was considered old.  If that's the case then I should 
expect more problems since my engine already has 26k miles on it already.  
Darn it, and I was hoping to get 100k out this engine!

I'll let you know if anything happens when the engines turns 50k miles.  
Thanks for the "watch out" info.
