Nope, never cracked a timing cover. I have pulled a few and put back in a few now. Just gotta be careful (and slow) putting it in and taking it out.

Well, my motor pulls about 19-20 inches of vacuum depending on how warm the oil is now which is pretty good. I used Shell Rotella T non synthetic for breakin (8k miles, changed three times), now I am on Shell Rotella T synthetic. It barely burns any oil.

We will make a meet.

We don't go out much because we have a 3 1/2 yr old. We used to have an on call sitter (grandma) but she has had some heart surgery and cannot watch after her really anymore. :/

We will be at Wes's this coming Saturday though.
