I'm sure it would be fun recreationally, but as a D1 sport it gets really tiring. We practice year round 6+ times a week. Just friday we had a 2k test in the morning, nothing like starting your day by throwing up twice and being oxygen deprived for the next 6 hours. I'm glad I'm a senior.

I have reached a new low. Wrench left on the crank pulley when I went to start it. Backed out the crank bolt in a few seconds.

you sound like me when im in a hurry/excited/too many beers. slow down, take a break and go do some rows.
2nd video sounds like HLAs. they may take a while to "repump". if 10-20 minutes of idling-2k doesnt do it, id be throwing a pressure gauge on one of the head oil ports.
did you end up disassembling and cleaning them all?

Yeah I was, I set **** down and cleaned for a bit. I soaked them in brake cleaner for a while, then soaked them in oil overnight.

its possible some brake clean got into the hlas and didnt find its way out. not sure this is an issue, but i wouldnt have soaked them in a solvent without disassembly.
