Troy should come grind the concrete and give it some texture!

look at it because it only makes noise so far, it's not really broken.  glad the lift improved the annoyance factor.

I only got ujoints done last night. Hope they were my problem.  Wrapped up just as the light show was starting, I didn't get dripped on.

Best case is you replace main bearings and they last another race, then pull it again.

Worse case you pull it apart and discover scored cylinder walls from a broken piston, machine work and parts =$$$

Why not just replace it with one of the options and be done for another year? Why waste time diagnosing a problem just to replace it anyway? Time = money at M4 now.  8)

Not bad to see at all, and it never went to zero. I was watching it since as the motor got hotter the pressure would drop. Always at least 15-20 psi. P

it does not look to bad, would need to know the length from front to wheelwell to see if it would really fit... but no cash right now though
