Sorry for the absence guys...First off, cheers to all y'all for having - and keeping - this forum alive and available...People like me thrive on your inputs, experiences, and knowledge...So last I contributed was running below temp was back to normal, and pure crap, fart bubbles popping in the engine's groove once temp was reached...I gave a good cleaning to the WUR, replaced all vacuum/breather lines - all to achieve the same...Then I started reading random threads that caught my eye with keywords such as crap-lean-rich-sputter-stutter-stall, and was enlightened to thinking simple again...
My O2 sensor was caked in hot oil back when turbo seals blew...I tried cleaning, but I figured if I had to exacto blade the soot out of the slits running along the end of the sensor, then chances are any sensitive device in its right mind wouldn't last these days...And then I remembered changing the fuel/air/oil filters right when the seals blew - since I drained the oil...So I got another fuel filter as well...I should have known that as I have chased my own tail before after having been the winner of a bunk fuel filter years ago...Easy thinking, easy install, and she roars right up, only betraying a funky A/F mixture and wacky idle...Turn of a screw, twist of a wrist and we're all better now...So easy I wonder could I be masking another, more REAL problem, or am I still over-thinking things???Thanks again Pelicans...My neighbors think I'm a damn genius because of you...
