Thanks Guys, lol
well, I’m going back today. I hope it’s still there.
Check for water in the electronics/hydraulics well in the trunk on the drivers side. Very expensive to fix. If it shows a water line above the electronics, look elsewhere.
Check for water in the tail/headlights (almost impossible to find replacements).
Look for light oil on the upper part of the engine these a cheap to fix, if it looks like it's been steam cleaned recently it may have had oil leaks. By now it's either been fixed, or not. Look for lower oil leaks, these are expensive to fix, which this year did have a problem with, but was repairable. Mine was done years ago under warrantee.
Cycle the top up and down a few times.
Watch for the engine speed to go up and down after starting, this can point toward simple vacuume leaks, mostly easy to fix hard to find.
I'm guessing you bought it already or have moved on?
hope you used 2 bolts per factory specs to reinstall the crankshaft. Its a one time use bolt. You have to have one new one to torgue with, then remove it and replace with another. If you didnt, might want to check it out as when the crankshaft comes loose so to the oil pump from what I have heard. Not done one yet but really need to be sure you did it correctly
