BTW- what does this part refer to? (I hate acronyms . . .) " blt, compression/ld "

Boost leak test, Compression test and leak-down test.
It makes more sense in a thread when someone has already identified the full word. But the list of items to check is fairly long. Base timing is another one. Overall the car runs well, but I’ve noticed the dipstick is unseated after spirited driving.

Ah Yes- all very important tests. Be sure to check your PCV valve it that gets gummy you could be getting boost into the valve cover. Unless you already have probably just replace as they are so cheap. Compression test and base timing are very simple and most important after that- do you have a compression test gauge and a timing light? Don't bother with the idle speed measurement- for base timing the tachometer is good enough. The leakdown test- that is in-cylinder to determine valve health - do I have that right? If so I typically just do the dry compression / wet compression test to somewhat differentiate what may be rings vs. valves. I did not bother with a boost leak test, my piping is tight, there are no holes in my intercooler, and my throttle body shaft is reasonably tight and I don't have the money to rebuild the throttle body if it had an issue anyway.
