A buddy had one for sale not long ago, let me reach out and see if he's still got it.

FWIW I sold my 1.6 out of my 90 with 128k and verified good compression but minor oil consumption a few months ago for 250 bucks. If you have any mechanical inclination you can also swap in a 1.8 without much effort.

Some "swear" by the LNC while others (including myself) have found just what you all say.... Basically only improper maintenance when dealing with the crank bolt will result in failure every time. Tho what LNC indicates to me is the fact it is in essence a younger engine thus not allowing extra time for improper maintenance to have been done
