Ran the cable for the CB antenna as part of my pre rally checklist. Hopefully I will get the mount later this week and get it up.

IMHO? If you're rebuilding and there's any chance of a turbo in the future, well now's the time. No turbo? Don't need them. If you're gonna abuse a na engine to get it hot enough to blow a gasket you've got personal problems that head studs won't fix...

Yep looks like mine did. How old is your filter? Mine was about a year and a half old when I started having issues. That's what was in it. Looked like sand, maybe rust in the tank?
