MuHahahaha!
The little gal is purring again.
Apparently having the plugged scavenger line made the dipstick "Breathe".
The dipstick "milkshake" is no more.
Not a whole lot of noticable change in throttle behavior, and I am surprised.
Quick aside of fun...
My 16yo was tasked with changing out the plugs. He ham-fisted one in there and (how.. I don't know) smashed one of the spark arms down tight to the electrode.
Surprisingly, it ran like crap.
A quick re-gap and we are back in business.

Just to be safe... I am going to change out the main bearings tomorrow morning.
How long should this take? I have a psychiatrist appointment at 1300. I can't be late for it again, or they will make me stay there for a while. Again.

If you have to be done by 1230 you sure as daylight won't be. Do it when you come back.
