THAT is one heck of a good tip Carl. That is out of the ballpark for sure. Here's why...

The mechanics like to say use starter fluid for that. Problem being, it eats the paint right off making a huge mess. Others have told me to use a piece of heater hose and put your ear to one end of it and listen for excessive noise. The engine is noisy enough already that it doesn't work very well.

This one should go in the books somewhere! Any downsides to doing that at all?
