RE: 91 Wagon
Unless you know the service history,
Be aware that the crankcase pressure can and will blow the rear engine main oil seal out, that requires pulling the tranny to change it. So maintaining the breathing system is important.
I would change the oil trap, flame trap, air filter , clean throttle body and bellows hose from air filter.
Clean or replace all the hoses connecting the breather system.
Install a new seal in the oil filler cap.
Order an intake manifold gasket and throttle body gasket at the same time, its so much simpler to pull the manifold back out of the way to do the oil trap and whilst in there you might want to change the engine coolant sensor. Should cost around $100 in parts from FCP Groton.
Heres the FAQ,

Then I would get after the timing belt unless you know when it was changed.
Exactly where is the PCV valve ?, mine doesn't have one.

I've read that fixing the breathing system will often cure a leaking rear main oil seal, if it doesn't theres a really good article complete with photos online, definately do-able.

The guys on the brickboard say the returns aren't worth the expense with performance mufflers.
If you want power throw a V8 in there.
Plenty of them do that. but...why I dunno.

It's a great thing to do and worth the money in every respect, it's far from loud either.

They were talking about the sport system sold by IPD, it has an annoying drone at cruise speeds.

That's the main reason I use light truck mufflers, large internal passages, but plenty of packing, so if you can fit them under your car (no problems with a 740), they're the way to go, and cost much less than a mirror polished fart can.
Regards, Andrew.
