OTOH, the engines continued to do the Lycoming four banger, shake, rattle, and roll... Not nearly as bad as getting distracted looking for traffic, being vectored by ATC, missing the normal tank change point in the checklist and hearing the engine surge at 2500 AGL three miles from the threshhold with an hours worth of fuel in another tank!
