When it came time for inspection, the state of the exhaust of the Mont was in pretty sad shape (muffler holes, etc.) so I was pretty confident it wouldn’t pass. I figured I’d get to it eventually, patch it up, it’d pass and be back on the road. Well, after it sat for a month I decided to fire it up – it sounded horrible. There was an extremely loud engine knock, so I figured it had enough. Out it goes. Despite the anemic performance, it served me well for 25,000 or so miles.
Demise of the inline 6.
Thought I’d add this in since there’s a gap here.
