That sounds like how I was told I could get a question
to an Overland senior technician if you had a motor
build question about there setup.  You had to fax your
question and they would get back to you somehow.  I
tried this 3 times back in 2001, no response anytime.

I sure would like to find out why on my 1.9/1.6 setup
they sold me there was a thin metal head gasket in
addition to the stock 1.9 head gasket.  Oh, and why my
exhaust valves seemed to be nipping the pistons from
day 1....
