If it is not going out the pipes where can it be going?

Exactly - because there is no leak and if it goes out the tailpipe, it has to be breaking down, at least in my engines - and it has found a way out, but not a 'visible' way. Originally Posted by erik erikson

If the oil is going out the tailpipe has nothing to do with it "breaking down". Originally Posted by Irelands child

It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.
Luck occurs when preparation and opportunity converge.

I feel that like STP, when you heat and cool things, your buildup also does the same thing. Just keeps adding layer after layer.

The engine looks awesome, I like the low intake. That'll be some eye candy when the hood is popped.
