And so it begins...

Sorry to hear about the problems (health and VX), hope it all works out. If you don't mind having it hauled somewhere, my Dad is a service writer at a garage in Mocksville, NC, about an hour away from you. The mechanic/owner is top-notch, and labor rates in rural NC are amazing.

I may have to take you up on the offer. I have replaced the cracked vacuum hoses and rented a code checker and looked for stored codes and found none. If it sits for several hours it will start but will not stay cranked. I am at a loss as to what is going on.

I am beginning to worry if the heads are not set up correctly.

Based on the sitting for awhile...did you replace fuel filter and fuel pressure regulator. COuld also be a bad fuel pump, sits for awhile=gravity drain gas to the fuel rail. Runs like crap=no fuel...and so on. You see where I am going with this...
I dig the full sleeve.
I had major jaw surgery this time last year. Tuesday before thanksgiving, they split my top jaw into three pieces and spread it apart with titanium plates. Then they broke my bottom jaw and brought it forward about 4mm. My jaw was wired shut for a few weeks. All that so I could have straight teeth

I installed a new fuel filter but nothing else. I am planning on getting a pressure gauge installed to monitor the fuel pressure.

Yea I like my sleeve and when my left arm heals.... I'll be covering my scar.

Man, that sounds like a painful surgery!! I think I'll stick with the torn tendons.
