I was surprised with instant pass as previous years thru past six were a
problem, changing 02 sens
and blocking off rad for increased engine temp to pass.

The only item this time was that I noticed the air pump line into the
original 91 cat was breaking away. Replaced cat with high flow cat made by
CATALAN in Belgium, has good quantity of rodium and palladium.
Oil change Amsoil 10/40 , Sunoco 94 octane

This time no blocking rad or anything. They put it on their machine , it
passed .
