I have an '87 STX and love every thing about it except the gas mileage(~15), oil leaks, and lack of an extended cab. This one came with grillgaurd, rollbar, tubular rear bumber, deluxe bucket seats, and limited slip, are these items part of the STX package or just extras? It also has the "high rider" package.

How can you tell if the heads are cracked? Does it have anything to do with the common ticking of these engines. Mine started ticking during a 160 mile trip, after I changed the oil. It wasn't running real hot on that trip but has run almost to the red on other occasions.
