today, about 2 her drive, here's the summary:
-hooked everything up as it is supposed to be
-cleaned up oil from the last drive
-drove nice, relaxed, didn't give her much boost, but a bit here and there
-i can tell i need to tune
-not much smoke
-came home, inspected, little to no oil came out of the tube
-still slight puf-puf out the dipstick, but alot less
-oil still showing full
i am wondering if all this time i had too much oil in the pan. i always check it, but, its still full and i've obviously lost a bit of oil since it is (was?) spraying about.
so conclusions are still pending. i'm going to further tune it tomorrow, take it out and see.
a person i really respect for wisdom suggested that the rings may need to wear into the cylinder bore. perhaps he's right.
