Well, it was a little early this time at around 90k. It was stumbling pretty bad on startup with some white smoke and was continually getting worse.

I spread it out over the course of a month, usually just working on it for one day out of the weekend. So in the end it only took maybe 4 days (not full ones either) and went pretty well.
