hi all,

first off, i MAYBE drive the thing like once every 1 to 2 months. so, i'm 
sure that's not helping keep the the valve seals lubricated. just did 
this on today's start up.. DOES NOT smoke once running. 034 did a compression test and leakdown a few years ago (which means like 3,000 
miles ago ;-) said it was like new. could also be a leaky pcv?


plus it's doing it's hard start BS again when the engine is warm. it 
stopped for a while when i swap out the freebie FPR i got. so, 
probably the check valve. might as well get a higher flow fuel pump too 
being you have to take it out anyway. the hum of the pump has been getting a bit louder lately. they all hum a little, right?


see ya,Robby
