Pulled the starter... to grease it up and quiet it down. Didn't have to. Pulled on the the starter gear and immediately it retracted. So... I'm chalking up the cold start sound to the chains rattling over the guides pre-oil. All that work for nothing.

On another note... was slipping on a new hose over the two inches of hose sticking from the power steering reservoir... and it broke flush with the reservoir. No sticking on a new hose. Is that a big deal? The power steering reservoir hose (coming from the top side) hasn't been leaking. It had a kink that would have prevented any overflow from dribbling out... I cut it off... went to slip on a new hose (over the existing remaining 2 inches) and it snapped of flush. Big deal?

Thanks.
