Amen to that ! the first thing about troubleshooting is to have an established point of reference. if you know how the machinery behaves in generally normal conditions it's more cost efficient to focus on the actual problem. think in terms of going to the doctor when you're healthy ... knowledge is power. � � � � � � � �mike

yeah but why run a beautiful engine into the ground for the sake of
being cheap about oil changes?

If I was going to consider doing thatI sure wouldn't tell anyone.

Try it, it's rewarding ..
and less expensive in the long run, by far !
