I miss my -4. It was so nimble compared to my 3.2/915. You could toss the -4 around with ridiculous abandon. But if you're gonna do a -4 on the cheap, be prepared for: blown galley plugs, cracked heads, dropped valve seats, disappearing cores, disappearing djet parts, and an accumulation of damage from ham-fisted repairs over the years from knuckle dragging, mouth breathing troglodytes. I have an otherwise great 2L head laying around on which PO used split ring lock washers under the head nuts. Hmmm, mo' tight mo' gud. Totally gouged and destroyed the recesses. Can't quite bring myself to throwing it away.
