Moving along...

Fixes from tonight after work:

  • Valve adjustment on #5 exhaust valve, got rid of a tick
  • New driver side valve gasket, should eliminate my only oil leak (so far)
  • Checked #5 plug (because it was easy to get to), looks good
  • Put a spring on one of the bolts to the driver side header to hold the flange tight when cold
  • Tightened a finger loose bolt holding the driver side header around #7.
Took a ride. Car starts wonderfully now since a cranking pulsewidth tweak during lunch at work. Dunno about peppy, which it really isn't, but some acceleration enrichment adjustments made it feel peppier, and it makes neat noises when you rev it in neutral. The wideband is no longer showing ridiculously lean conditions at idle, which was really an indication of a super rich condition (opposite day!).

We'll see how it does on the way to work. I just finished some dinner, I'm going to take a shower and look at the datalog from the drive home and see how the gas mileage was.
