291,472 km Got around to checking the compression on Sandy as per @mtbtim 's video. Passed with flying colours. The numbers actually seem a bit high, maybe the gauge wasn't calibrated right. So I guess the cream under the oil cap is from short trips? But they aren't short trips. Also the coolant seemed to go down a little bit, maybe there's a leak somewhere else. And as to the sweet smelling white exhaust, maybe that's because the cat is shot?



Plugs were a little carbony so I washed in POR degreaser then water and sanded the electrode a bit. They have about 25,000 km on them I think so this will be their mid-life check and clean.



Throttle body looks clean.



So that's great. She's in the garage so the next big items are the front differential swap and new clutch. Also would like to get the manual hubs together and swapped in.
