If you could e-mail the info to g_alan_e@yahoo.com I'd appreciate it. I can find the EEPROM easily if I know the chip's part number.

I used an inspection camera to have a look in the cylinders on the original engine after I got it out. It wasn't very nice inside anymore. Parts of the piston tops looked like they may have melted a bit.

The "new" engine's piston tops were nearly completely buildup free and the cylinder walls were shiny. Still makes a bit of noise until it warms up. So did the original until after it got hot enough to blow coolant out (and the 2nd fan never came on) it clattered all the time and had no power and would overheat going up the slightest grade. Most likely the knock sensor was making it always retard the timing.

It overheated going up a 4,200+ foot high mountain pass. I don't want that to happen to it again.
