[urq] Post overhaul issue, 83 Urq

[David Ritter]

As of today, my post rebuild engine issue seems to be fixed.
The oxygen sensor had died sometime in the last couple of years while the
car was off the road waiting for me to do the overhaul.
With the new Oxygen sensor, it no longer stalls out when warmed up.
Unfortunately the Audi god of misery decided to further torture me by
eliminating my clutch hydraulics in the middle of my triumphant test drive.
New cylinders, master and slave on the way soon...
Thanks for all the inputs,
Dave
