[john walker's workshop]

is it cold in iowa still, like around freezing? i've noticed some whirring when the engine was real cold, for a few minutes. other than that, i would pull the covers again and give a light pry with a screwdriver to see if they ever pumped up. i've had 2 recently that would not bleed out. i use a pump style oil squirter can with a hose and banjo fitting attached to bench bleed the suckers. if it won't firm up, it ain't going in.
