[Shotimes] Flooded engine

[Bruce Malachuk]

nah it was only flooded with gas for about 5 min or so. Most of the issues I
think were related to the berrymans that was in the cylinders. Took a while
to get it to kick and stay running. but she runs now. Think I killed an O2
sensor though, get a check engine light and a KOER code of 136 (lean while
running bank 2) so I think I'm gonna be replacing them if it shows up again
after a little more running around town.

Which one is bank 2? Thats right hand of the engine so in my mind it's
saying the front O2 sensor is SHOt. Ahh the price I paid for almost clean
valves. I got alot off of them with the berrymans soaks. The one odd thing
that I think might be kicking the car to show lean on the RH bank is thats
the one side I got finished with the porting. I needed an intake back on my
car for the day. I'm wondering if that might just be causing the leaning
out. Hmmm

Think I'm gonna make a day of doing the rod bearings, changing the O2
sensors, if needs be.
