you just gave me a shiver down my back about the crank sensor. i had one in my 90 gp that took me a while to figure out, no internet help back then, the miserable sob would start and run perfect and then randomly once every couple weeks it would just not start until you got a tow and it would start and run perfect again as soon as it was in the driveway. and it was in a horrible position at least this one didnt get stuck in the block as hard as it is to get to i cant imagine that job

Yeah it got stuck in the block big time. Tried to get it out with a hot screw and screwed it in and still couldn't get it out. So lift up the engine, push it through, remove the oil pan. Clean it up, put in a new oil pan gasket, new crank sensor. Then drop the engine back in and call it done.

Pretty much all my driving is highway/expressway. I used a headlight restore kit this summer and it helped, but that is when I realized the fogging was on the inside of the lenses, not the outside. Now that the old ones are spare, I will try taking them apart and restoring the inside of the lens.
