    Will a PPI with good results that includes a leak-down/compression eliminate most of the expensive issues when it comes to mechanical problems? (ie. headers, valves, clutch etc...??) Meaning, if it comes back with good results, is that enough to eliminate the above and is "good to go" for being purchased?

    I have been reading that the car should be driven to avoid coagulation, and driving it will lead to lesser mechanical issues. What kind of mileage per month are we talking about? What do you guys do in winter? Is driving it once a week in winter (when weather permits) enough? How long should the drive be in order to count? Do you keep the battery on a "trickle charger" in winter? As well, oil changes should be done every how many miles? I am also assuming that the highest octane gas should be used... do you add any "boosters" to the fuel upon fill-up, if so, what kind?

    Thank you for your help.

    1) Yes, On your PPI questions.A Thorough Inspection is MANDATORY, however you can't Accurately Predict future Problems.
    2) I Exercise mine Weekly.Not just around the Block & Back.No Garage Queen here.
    3) We don't have "Winter" :D Can't answer that 1.
    4) A Trickle Charger is a MUST, if not Started regularly. Charging & Replacing the Battery is a PITA,plus it will save your Alternator.
    5) Yearly or 3K Miles.
    6) 91+ Octane. It Runs Great on 76 or Texaco.No Off Brand Gas.Pay the Extra $.
