How smooth is the idle? If it's not like a gasser, I'd pull the other four and take them back as well...........let him prove that they are all at 140.
Thanks Brian,
I am seriously mulling that very question now. The idle is perfect presently. Injector noise in general is a bit loud, but even - unlike the sound before he reset #5. Stethoscope does not reveal any inconsistencies between all five, so I am taking a drive today out to Bonneville Dam for a test run and will report back any incorrect combustion.
