Re: Probably the Sound of Death
But it has to be the engine? I ask only because of the DRAMATIC difference in performance in fourth gear. As in, except for the tick you'd think the car was brand new.

2001 SE Questions
I've pretty much always wanted a last-generation Bonneville; now I'm getting one because I need something to drive and I think my Aurora is dead.
So, I have a few general questions, because I don't have time to search the forum right now.
1. Besides the intake manifold, are there any other common ...

Probably the Sound of Death
I'm here because I'm about to buy a 2001 SE out of desperation. The desperation is probably caused by my Shortstar. I saw this board, I thought I'd tell my story.
I have an 01 Aurora 3.5. It had an oil leak from the valve cover gaskets. I paid someone to replace them. The oil started disappearing ...
