just a thought, cause i remember last time i got in it and wiggled the shifter it had a lot of play while in gear.
bitch pin was replaced 2 weeks ago. I couldn't take it anymore.
It really cleaned things up in there but i think i might check out the other end of the linkage as well, just because.
I went through a bunch of stuff last night & drained my mobile1 10-30 synthetic and put in a conventional 10-40, it drasticly reduced my smoking issues. You can see barly see the smoke at this point. The recommended 5w50 was nowhere to be found.
I'm probalby gonna try & tackle the cam swap tonight in between finishing up jason's engine, it's on the stand & i've go to finish assembly.
