Is there any way to CHECK, other than remove the front cover? You say this effects temps too. My temps do seem a mite higher than before. John I had these same symptoms last winter and finally bit the bullet and removed the front cover which is a bit of a challenge to do with the engine mounted, but not impossible (on my mount, anyways). Sure enough, I had the blown front cover o-ring problem. It was easily changed and corrected for by the method described in the Bruce Turrentine video. However as you've just had your engine rebuilt by Bruce, I'd expect it should be good, although sometimes s*** happens to the best of us. I'd recommend a phone call to him and tell him the pressures/temp/rpm that you are seeing. ------=_NextPart_000_0025_01C4D065.A73DDC60 Content-Type: text/html; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable
