Isn't there a couple for sale in the classifieds on here? I think they were around 17000 with trade.

RE,
Showered the motor meant that water "showered" the internals due to the head cracking when mixed with oil and pumped water through the engine where it shouldn't have gone. Seemed like a decent use of the word.
