Well they're air tight, - but yea, filters may have hardening/varnishing sitting that long. You can clean them yourself with a 12v VRef. That's all I know, never pursued it, but there's You Tube vids about the procedure.

Fuel injector cleaning - YouTube
That's a simple way to pulse injectors ehh. Same way I use to bump the starter when checking compression. The faster you can go when compression testing the better.

Well thought my engine was done for, - kept missing on 4,5,6 and 8. When removing the doors it left the GEM circuit open. Bypassed it using 10ohm resisters that worked for awhile. Yea, worked at first, failed later, GEM cut power to those coils. It's programed to do so but that's not all. I'm not even going to try that again, looks like getting into the tune would be easier. Yea , that's not an option, so , Digging up my doors today (they are 3' under the snow...at least their tarped) and throwing them back on . Not that big of deal, - fenders are off and I can work around them I guess..for a bit anyway.

Have to keep that thing running, working her out every 3 months, - to keep her in shape.

Im running -17cc dished on mine, but the 38cc heads make my cr 9.3 :1

Nothing wrong with flat tops if they are below the deck. A set of diamond -5cc would be good for the 4v.

Ordered a lil something extra today. I won't feel bad at all about going the complete 15k between oil changes with the Mobil 1 extended performance. Extra filtration, easier access for oil changes & an extra threaded port to run an oil pressure gauge in addition to the factory sending unit. Sounds like a WIN WIN WIN to me!

How well do these work? I've thought about putting one on my truck just to make oil changes easier

Couldn't tell you scientifically without having the proper equipment to test for contaminants, break down, etc. But in many circumstances in life, 2 is better than 1 my friend.

Not bad with the bracket. I ended up paying $150 for both cables, bracket & CC controller from a salvage yard.
