I was referring to the "Jeep Owner's Bible" book that every one quotes from.
In it, the author states he hated the Tornado. Glad you did have some
experience with it. My experience has been the total opposite. It is a
totally reliable engine. Your entitled to your opinion though. No matter
how wrong... ;)

Early on, there were service bulletins issued on this problem. The cam was
what they were referring to mostly and lack of oil pressure. Thought it was
interesting reading about it when I wasn't experiencing it with mine....

I figure if it hasn't leaked in that area in 37 years, I'll respectfully
disagree with that.... ;)

Not sure if it used the same seats. Seem pretty comfortable compared to the
MB seats....
