sorry 97 SL - I was referring to the situation that a few commenters pointed out: That because I have an incorrectly clocked r4 installed, the oil port that would be part of the compressor lubrication system is not in the right orientation for gravity to do its work - thus apparently dooming the compressor to a shorter lifespan.

I also have a new separate situation (mentioned in another thread started after I posted the update here) where my cool air started blowing warm on a highway driver this weekend. After turning off and parking for a while, it was back to cool, but I'm trying to diagnose that - to be clear, I don't belive that is at all connected to the clocking issue though. Thinking it could be restriction, or ETS malfunction, or maybe under/overcharge, or perhaps incorrect oil amount? hard to say at this point.
