[T3] That's it

[Fiesta Cranberry]

I suspect, and again, I haven't seen it, but I suspect that either Lloyd
didn't set up the valve train geometry right or didn't break in the cam
with the proper method or proper oil.

​So, what is proper breaking in?  How do you do it?  We changed the oil
every 6 weeks for the first year, then after that, every 4 months or so.
 Remember, I don't drive a lot of miles.  Less than 10,000 in 6 years.

Who is this guy Tram?  If he gets in there and finds out the case needs new
bearings and/or reboring, that's a complete rebuild or a new engine.

I need an idea of how much all these various things will cost:


   1. Dropping engine and replacing with new engine
   2. Dropping engine and splitting case, replacing camshaft, lifters etc.

And don't forget, The Baroness is an automatic.  Seems to make everything
harder.

Not so sure about putting back the FI.  I had a LOT of trouble with it.
 The carbs have been pretty trouble free.
