<VV> Failed emissions test

[D. Monasterio]

    Mmmm... don't suspect on assembly lube nor other oil appart from the 
normally working. In fact, this my cleanest engine rebuild with no other 
smellings appart from the new paint on shrouds but, think you made a hit on 
the exhaust system as it is the one that came with the truck (23 years 
without running !). It breaths and looks apparently OK but, have no idea 
about the internal remainings of bad stuff. Think it is time to install one 
of my own exhaust pipes.

    Thanks

    Daniel
