I do indeed premix and also "refurbished" the motor last year since it was original from 1993 and I had the time. Just changed the seals, ported it and closed it back up for a minimal cost. When I did open the engine, the internals looked fantastic btw. Tuning is everything.
First time I blew mine the housings were visibly warped, it was like a bunch of rolling hills lol, not good. Good luck with your car, I'm looking at picking up another soon, but it's getting to the point where 2nd gens in good shape are creeping up to 3rd gen prices, people are just beating the living hell out of them
