It starts up MUCH faster too, crank....Vroom! Right away. Its awesome!
In that case maybe I should too. I get similar MPG (13 average)...or at least last time I filled up. We will see any difference is made since the valve job among other stuff that was done in the past week.

Where is the CPS located? When I had the head off I was meaning to find where it was, but never got around to it. Is it difficult to reach with everything back together now?

EDIT: That reminds me...we talking Cam Position sensor here, right? The Crank position is at the front and only references for the odometer as far as I understand.
