Got an early 04 at the shop. 253K and needs a high pressure oil pump. Man, what I wouldn't give to use the ICP port in the RH valve cover to air check it but no dice on the early birds. I'd buy the first beer for the guy who knows the engineer who cobbled together this fecal abortion.....and kicks him sqare in the noitz.
No leaks of substance from the crankcase but I have gurgling in the oil filter housing. Died on highway - No start, builds 500-ish PSI cranking. If it were a small leak, the 30 degree morning would probably warrant a start and run until warm. Nope. DED.
