Losing sleep

I'm not a bad mechanic, I've rebuilt two diesels and a ton of other engines, but I got Fatigue from being 44 and I was short slept that day..so I just poured on the gas and kept on Going...

For the record, I got up 20 minutes ago and drove the car again. Its not smoking orsmelling bad
I dont think the engine was affected...I think its good, its not knocking its just out of tune, got a clogged EGR and slow ALDA and a host of performance problems, it sounds not like shot bearings, but more like badly tuned and wheezing badly..

Besides who would think just because I rearranged a hose in the engine compartment ( i used a 5/8 inch hose from Valve Cover to Air Filter) I would accidentally crimp it and block the PCV feature..

tomorrow at first light I hope to get some work in..
