Thats what I'm thinking... 76K miles on the stock bottom end.. over 1/2 of
that is with 8PSI or more... the last 5K miles has been 11+ PSI...
I remember hearing a ticking like a rocker or exhaust leak last night that
would get a little louder under accel... Maybe something was coming
loose...
I tryed starting it this morning... it runs reaaaaaallllly rough, no
knocking... just blows losta oil smoke from the breather.... :(
Oh well.... :-/
I was only wanting 12's from the stock bottom end of that thing...
