As many of you are aware, I advised Liz to stop driving her car when I observed exhaust gas venting out of the oil tank on Saturday morning in Moab.

We flat-bedded her home just to be safe.

Looks like it was a good call.

Compression check (cold) reveals:

1. 105
2. 100
3. 105
4. 90
5. -0-
6. 105


The engine has not eaten itself, so we're going in. #4 will receive a check as well.

Are you comfortable using the existing oil cooler. I've heard nasty
stories about bits hiding in them after breakage like that.

I don't have a warm fuzzy feeling about any of it, but any bits that might have made it past the scavenge pump would have been caught in the filter on the tank. The on-engine cooler gets oil post-filter.

Now there could be bits in the external cooler, but again, there's a filter between it and the engine inlet.
