I'm sure it would be fun recreationally, but as a D1 sport it gets really tiring. We practice year round 6+ times a week. Just friday we had a 2k test in the morning, nothing like starting your day by throwing up twice and being oxygen deprived for the next 6 hours. I'm glad I'm a senior.

you sound like me when im in a hurry/excited/too many beers. slow down, take a break and go do some rows.
2nd video sounds like HLAs. they may take a while to "repump". if 10-20 minutes of idling-2k doesnt do it, id be throwing a pressure gauge on one of the head oil ports.
did you end up disassembling and cleaning them all?

its possible some brake clean got into the hlas and didnt find its way out. not sure this is an issue, but i wouldnt have soaked them in a solvent without disassembly.
