Here is a crappy view of the graph. Again I will try to get a scanned version if I can.

My engine failed during the recall test drive. The engine had 14,7xx miles when I got it so I do not know how the previous owner drove it. She feels strong and good except for idle issues. She felt really good after leaving the dyno, silky smooth. I also have an oil sample that I will be sending in to have analysed.

I just wanted to see where everything was at before they replaced it.
