Not much has happened with the car since I lost my job but I dug her out of hibernation this week. Sand seal pulley was installed last fall on one of the last nice days before the rainy season. Over the winter the oil tank drained into the motor so I pulled the plugs to make turning over the motor easier and finally got the oil back into the tank. I did discover gas in the oil which could have been from the leaky injector o-rings but i didn't think it leaked this badly. Luckily the motor hasn't run with the contaminated oil, so I'll drain it and change the filters. Another problem I discovered was a dead lc-1 wide band controller. It was having problems before after a firmware update so I'll send it in for a replacement.
Now that nicer weather is back I can spend a little more time on her and hopefully she'll be back running again shortly.
