Just another day at the office.

How far out of spec was it, harry?

Also, just to be clear on the specs:

How far out, is out? 6 deg.?
Should be steady at idle--right?

6 deg is still acceptable as long as it is steady at idle but when you venture out to 7.5 or more then you need to find out what's going on and it did wander a little, nut much, by .02 or so. Again if the reading is steady at idle then it's most likely OK
