    Ken, no if anything it runs cold. That might contribute to the incomplete burning of gas, doesn't get warm enough maybe.

    Denny, I will try that. After that next step is to pull the pan and examine the piston. I have never had a cracked ring or broken land in anything I know of, so this is new to me.

    There was one funny thing that happened today. When I pulled the left valve cover there was the smallest frog I have ever seen hanging on to one of the 4 valve cover studs that Vortecs have. I have no idea how he got in there or how long he has been there, but he was in no hurry to leave. I finally took him across the parking lot to the drainage ditch and released him. Guess I need to start using my car more..........critters have taken it over.
