    He was suffering from late stage cancer, and I guess decided to go out on his own terms. https://apnews.com/article/ted-kaczynski-unabomber-1197f597364b36e56bdbcaca9837bdc4

For some reason, I find it very interesting, especially war history. The...

He put in High Performance Lubricants PCMO 10W-20 to run for close to 5k miles. The fuel dilution has come way down so hopefully that's clearing up. The HPL PCMO 10W-20 held...
