I deleted the EFM, after replacing the top end and cam, and it's been a fine engine since then.
Almost 300,000 miles now.
If I wanted a phucking 4 cylinder I would have bought a phucking 4 cylinder.
I paid for 8 cylinders, by God, and I want the MF running on all 8 cylinders, all the time!

I hate making a good first impression. There’s no way I can keep that shit up.
