    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.

    If the oil is going out the tailpipe has nothing to do with it "breaking down".

    BTW Jay, you going to visit your daughter and go to Carl's BBQ during SEMA week?
    Dunno. When is it? Can't get tickets for the show, but going to the BBQ sounds good. Probably at his shop, right? Are you coming?

    He's throwing it on Thur 10/2 afternoon/evening, at the shop, 7th annual.
    Somehow I ended up "volunteering" to do the grilling.

    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.
    It is kind like engine insulation.
