I replaced my worn tie-rod ends with original-style complete-assemblies.

They are not inexpensive, but they are adjustable (with replaceable parts) - when adjusted properly, they work as well as newer-style non-adjustable tie rod ends.

My steering (front-end "feel", and steering "response", and stability) is excellent (after properly adjusting the steering box).

Maybe someone can explain how the non-adjustable style would be an improvement?
Except, maybe, you do not (cannot) adjust them (and, except for cost)?

The 216 and early 235 engines are not "splash oilers" -- this is a splash oiler.
