Checking a 2001 To Buy
 
Hey guys,

Tomorrow I'm going to take a look at a 2001 with 141k on the clock, and just wanted to ask on here what I should look for. I'm aware of the cylinder cracking issue, and will run the engine with radiator cap off and look for bubbling, as well as looking in the valve cover for milkiness.

Any tips are appreciated.

Compression/coolant pressure test is better. If you notice any signs of fresh undercoating no doubt, run away.

You can get the tester for nothing at AutoZone for free with a deposit or just use it there and not leave with it.
