Well, last Tuesday I replaced the PCV system in the S70. Still smokes a little out of the dip stick. I'll check again in about 500 miles to see if there is any change. Maybe it's residual burning off.

I also changed the oil with synthetic.

Replaced the PCV sytem in the 850 yesterday. Still smokes from the dipstick a little. Maybe it's residual. I'll check it again in about 1,000 miles to see if it is still smoking. Seems to run stronger.

I spent yesterday evening cleaning out the flame trap in my '91 240 wagon and trying to figure out why the little hose was nearly double the interior diameter it was supposed to be. The trap was no more than 25% open. Yikes. Tonight I'll try to figure out why the heck my engine started knocking so badly out of nowhere - or if it's really even engine knock that I'm hearing. Jeez.
