Finally got around to doing the valve cover gaskets this evening. Also changed the ignition coil boots and swapped in the 3.7 injectors. Need to adjust the injector K constant a little because its running a little rich but it runs so smoothly. Engine is spotless internally after running synthetic oil the past 70K miles or so. Between reducing the overlap in the cams at cruising speeds and running a bottle of Techron last tank the intake valves and ports are spotless. They are cleaner now than when I did the plugs at 178K. The fuel trims went about rich by about 8%. The MPG was displaying 30.2 mpg on a little 30 mile trip I took that was a mix of 65-75 mph highway and some residential streets at 30 mph with a couple of redlights mixed in. With that 8% higher flow rate its was running about 27.5 mpg. I got on it from about 60 to 85 mph and it downshifted to 3rd, wrapped the tach up to about 6,000 rpm and flew to 7,500. Car literally jumped forward and took off.
