I think the theory in original message was that '86 was a year that 
the 5000's all started w/o problems.  Thus we would want to exclude 
the Quatto's from that theory!  :)

Good to know I am not alone.  But I just fear for all those engine 
parts as it cranks and cranks and cranks with no oil.  I had 
synthetic put in last time, but I've noticed no difference.  Maybe it 
is just psycologically lubricating?!?
