when talking about the 2.3 and 2.5 Lima engines, how is Lima pronounced?
is it lie-muh like the bean or lee-muh? i know they're named for the city in ohio where they were built, just don't know the correct way to say it.

It's also why Ford has Cologne (Germany), Cleveland (Ohio), and Windsor (Ontario) engines.

The 2.9L/4.0L isn't called "Cologne" because they smell good (trust me, they don't).
