The entire line, 2.0, 2.3 and 2.5, share bore centers and chamber dimensions.

It rolled over 230,000 on the way to work this morning.

The 2.5L that was supposed to end up in this car is now in the RX-8. With an EcoBoost 2.3 crank and some other goodies. So I guess I need to go pick up another 2.5

I'd really like to keep this thing on the road long enough that something used and electric (that I wouldn't be ashamed to drive) becomes cheap enough for me to pick up. Figure that's another ~ 3 years, at which point it'll be close to 300k miles. Adding oil every other fuel stop is annoying.
