Eric worked in silence for a while, before finally making a self-satisfied noise. "Ah-hah... your third piston's approaching the failure point, and the timing of pistons three and four looks to be out of whack. Chances are the old girl would've driven a while longer... can't say how long... but sooner or later, you'd get a hole blown through the piston, possibly through the cylinder head, and your oil system would probably get metal shards in it and need one hell of a thorough cleaning."
He looked up. "The good news is, as longwinded as that sounds, catching it early means it's much easier to take care of. If you'd had to bring her in via tow after she'd already blown, well, that'd be a different story."
