[s-cars] anyone remember this S ?

[Rit Bellis]

Uhhh... it loses all power in no 3 cyl and the mechanic quotes numbers north
of the value of the car to A: replace with used engine.  B: Rebuild existing
engine.  Mechanic says it appears to be a valve/seat issue in no. 3, and
worries that just rebuilding head will shift compression issue to rings all
around, which at 200k miles is a distinct possibility.  The reason it is at
mechanics is because normal search and replace 1.8t coil maneuver and
injector maneuver did not result in happily purring i-5.
