Thanks brad for your info. I know the price is kind of high but you have to start somewhere and then negotiate. I dont see the purpose of tearing down the motor when it only has 7k miles on it. I will do a new oil pan gasket and updated oil pan to add to buyer assurance. Since I will have to remove the timing cover to exchange it with the 2.5 cover I will be changing those gaskets as well. Once I have the pan off I can inspect the underside of the 3L and look for any thing out of the ordinary. Ill have pics of the car and motor by Friday.
