Just an update it was the fuel! I guess the 2.89 Wasn't such a great deal after all! :argh: I totally ripped the gas station a new one for the crap they sold! I guess it was that cheap for a reason!!:td:

We get alot of bad fuel up here, the winter blends change alot from pump to pump. If you can find a good station try to only fill up there

UPDATE: Burned #3 exhuast valve. Lost a cylinder yesterday Tore the top end off and found the #3 cylinder exhuast valve burnt?? What would cause this? I didn't check the valve clearance when I took it apart so i suspect a tight valve!Well i made 140k before tear down! But still what a bummer! i guess running on 5 cylinders would cause the drop in milage! Learn from me! Adjust your valves at 100k or sooner if you like! Save a bunch of money! Anybody got a good head gasket available??:argh:
