Thanks Tony,
Wasn't paying attention at 3 days of Superfest and didn't check oil except day before - spun couple bearings. Along the way of the bottom end work put in new pump and swapped oil cooler for one with less miles and no history of bearings problems (new one is $370). Came off another 2003 that was putting on a remote system due to new A members. Was thoroughly blown out, cleaned out with solvent then solvent cleaned up. No residue in the clean up process either. Need my Cobra back so I can make it back out to VIR in October!
