To add one final note, the vast majority of 1982 & 1983 4100's did not make 60,000 miles without severe bearing knock or complete engine failure. Complete engine failure was known to occur in as few as 30,000 miles.
Cadillac replaced hundreds of thousands of these engines under warranty; so many, in fact, that it was common to see bad HT4100's stacked like cordwood in service departments across North America.
What we see surviving and on the road, are most likely the warranty engines of 1984 to 1988.
The Allante 4100, being 1st made in 1987 was not afflicted with the malady.
