Fueled up in Ontario, Oregon and swapped drivers. Now entering Boise, Idaho. First tank of gas and got 14 mpg and took 3/4 of a tank to get half way and that was doing 75 mph most of the time and climbing hills most of the way.

It's 6:30 Pacific Western time now so they should be arriving in an hour!

Just came back from dinner......time for another Vex.

So what's the consensus on what happened to the Rubber Chicken this time?

Valve spring?

Push Rod?

Piston?

PCM?........


My bet is Bill and Matt will expulse some gaseous ideas tonight over a couple of brown liquid thirst quenchers.....
