Ok, the indie was clueless as to pre-chambers Since the car was sold in LA, there must have been an excess of city driving, and the manifold never got cleaned out. The next ten years must have just added to the snot build up. So, I will have a fine time for another 150k miles. Unless the

If you are not using synthetic oil, clean the intake out and switch -- synthetic will not coke in the intake, dino does, usually pretty dramatically. The 606 is definitely a pre-chamber engine, but they are in the center, between the cams, not on the side. Peter
