yeah. that way the engine turns over more "free". i didn't bother doing the compression test before starting the truck last night. doesn't leak, yet.. we'll see. i've got to drive it around before it starts to leak. i pulled the dip-stick and there isn't anything blowing out practically at all, so it shouldn't be from excess blow-by. we'll see.

So, i bought an 01 Kia Sportage. before i even drove it, i nick-named it The Goat.. it has been just like a goat.. stubbern at every corner...
