One day, when family obligations aren't at the forefront, I may rebuild the 8ba.

Running thicker oil to reduce consumption and sealing up the firewall to prevent fume entry into the cabin seem like excellent ways to keep the car out there on the road until a rebuild is warranted. She's running much better for the time being and is out on the road making onlookers smile!

There is absolutely nothing wrong with it. When you're short of cash you do what you have to do. Not all of us have large amounts of elective spending. Keep smokin'!
