My first guess would be shocks. Is there any clunking in the rear?

Correct crankcase pressure?

Is there any way to verify that the crankcase pressure in my M44 is ok? It seems like every time I fix an oil leak a new one starts. I changed the CCV about 60,000 miles ago and it's not whistling.

Good idea, for some reason I was thinking Gulfport, Mississippi and that is too much of a drive. Is it possible just to get the redline increase and nothing else?
