Craig,
Returning from StarFest96 in Portland - Ran East across Montana @
100mph (4900 rpms) for 3 hours. Lots of blowby. Bottom of car was

panels and bumper. Did a powerwash when I got home to VA.
No residual problems - 34

Bob,
Did you check oil level? IIRC, you have no tach, but you may have
been hitting the top revs. Was there oil on the rear of the car?
I ran my 300SD at high revs and lost a lot of oil. Gauge went to 1
