Reminds of the guy who asks the pharmacist for prophylactics that come with insecticide. Pharmacist says you mean the ones with spermicide? Guy says no I mean the ones with insecticide ...my wife got a bug up her ass and want to kill it !

22k miles since spotlessly clean or new. Looks more like 122k.....
Average thickness of carbon on the pistons is .030" and I run a catch can.
