greetings!

so i have been letting the car idle for a few days, i have set pressure back to specs (28-30) and we again have my old issue of gas dumping into oil, i have already climbed past max level on stick only after a couple days - another oil change & filter!!

So at this point i m going to set it back to 18 lbs, thats the sweet spot the mechanic found, as soon as i m physically able to get my 200lb trolley jack out, i will bleed brakes so i can test drivability, i ;ll report back as soon as i know, but i fear 142 guy is correct!

I will be certain to print out this chain as i pass the car on, i m not really inclined to start pulling apart injectors for return / refund / testing purposes.

Eric of old volvos in Cali,

i return ship MPS you kindly lent me this weekend, I believe we found root cause now.

Two off topic items - 1. With regards to Jensen Ron mentioned yes i m thinking of selling as it appears my 'garage hobby' has to change now with my recent health condition.

2. In my quest for parts & knowledge i have come across John, phone number 518 232 2682, he has a ton of 60's p1800 parts & panels, please post this so guys can get in touch with him.

web admin please post this detail where folks can find, hes an older gent so not computer savvy he prefers telephone & is ok with me sharing here,
