closer to the full dot than the middle. digital guage shows 2-3 bars missing. depends how long I let it sit.
The garage that fixed my vac leaks did say that I had overfilled the oil. That surely doesnt help.

It is. I find any excuse to go out and drive it. The more I drive it and the more days go by that I dont get CEL's, the more confident I am in the build.
Blew up my fathers snowmobile 2 weeks ago, so I have another motor to build. At least this one will only costs me about $1000 in parts. lol

10k?
lol.
Thats some serious mileage. I'm happy to put 2500km in a year. I leave my driveway and hit the trails after work and go out for an hour or 2....I might do 1, maybe 2 big trips a year.
I don't have anything special. A 97 Yammy VMAX XT, and the one I blew up was my fathers, a 04 Yammy Venture 700. Thats what I am fixing right now. blew out a needle bearing on the middle rod. That was 20km into the 1 of my yearly trips for 2017. Only took my old mans sled because it has mirrors and we were on Quebec trails (you need mirrors when on their trails) for that trip.
lol.

Totally understandable after your ordeal. The good part is that the obsession seems to have paid off!
