I let the hot van sit for a few days before finding the courage to see
if it would turn over or run (briefly). And it's several weeks since
then. I'm back in Portland long enough to do the waterpump, shifter,
deal with the jammed lower speedo cable, etc..

Lifters: ATF/Mystery Oil/Light oil-solvent to add to my oil
temporarily... thanks! I'll hope the vile noise goes away. I'll also
change the oil and filter again.

Yes, one black wire from the O2 sensor. But the green harness wire the
PO fudged the black wire to has *two* sets of strands in it. Loose
strands and an inner green-covered stranded wire. Do I connect the
single black sensor wire to the loose strands, the covered strands, or
both?
