I'm glad I replaced the pan before using this motor - the oil pick up was all gummed up. Hopefully it wasn't run like that for too long. Everything looked good on the rotating assembly that I could see:

Hey everyone. Its been a long delay in posting again. I completed the move up to Monterey, and got started with School. They call the first quarter a "refresher." Its odd, refreshing Calculus after a solid decade sure feels a lot like learning it all over again.

I've been working on getting the Garage all set up, the C3 hasn't made it out of the trailer yet. Once the garage is complete, I've got some maintenance to do on the C5, then I'll be getting back to work on the C3.

I've been super busy, but its starting to level out. I'm looking forward to getting caught up on everyone else's projects. Whats new?

You are doing a good job handling everything and working on the car(s) too. (I'm still stuck in PTSD mode)
