@fasteddy: To my uncalibrated nose I'd say the exhaust smell is much more fuel/oil than sweet. I'm kind of thinking with the age/mileage of the engine of just going ahead and doing a top-end refresh -- pull the heads and have a machine shop do a valve job, build myself a home-brew injector cleaner and clean the injectors, clean out the intake plenum with some BrainKiller stuff (Berryman's B12) and put it all back together and see how it runs, but I'm trying to get a bit more information first. When you mention the "cylinder leakage test" you are talking about a leak-down test, and not the previously-mentioned radiator pressure test, yes?

@mxmikie - Vss? Variable Shutter Speed? VANOS super sport? Vogon Space Ship? Please elaborate <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cyclops.gif" alt="" />
