i think we sufficiently dealt with the no oil thing.

i'm not sure why it failed but there were a few strange things. Timing was at around 34 degrees at this point which is a bit but not ridiculous. Fuel was at 12.5+- a little here and there and throttle was maybe 55% so it should not have been running lean or pinging.

the number four runner of the exhaust is purple, and always has been since the little run in it copped. so it is obviously pumping lots of heat out there but the middle two runners are sort of bronzed up and the number 1 cyl runner looks like it only ever got warm not hot. it did have a noise under light throttle that sounds like a bird chirping but i always assumed it was something air related.

i'll pull it out and pull it down and see what it shows i guess. it was always going to be freshened up with the BigE head and a bigger cam anyway :)
