Then start pulling hard again with over 10 pounds of boost. When it would stick at 4k it would only give 7 pounds of boost.
I have to also say this seems to have started with an oil change to 10/40 synthetic. The oil is at the highest mark on the dipstick. I also switched dipsticks because of a broken plastic ring. I wonder if the oil is sloshing or foaming plugging the crank vent system? I also seemed to notice the smoke out the back after stopping hard. Can oil ride the chain up while braking and overload the case vent if there is too much in the pan?
