Hey ....I need to learn how to read my oil (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/idea.gif)
You know those charts with pics for sparksplug conditions? normal/worn/too hot/preignition? is there the same thing for oil condition? I need a link ...or I need you guys to tell me what white gummy oily stuff is a result of. Thanks. R. |

WATER and, unless you got a wasserpumper in there, it ain't a leaking headgasket ... on aircooled engines, usually "condensation". meaning, yer engine doesn't get hot for any longer period of time, which is *not* gud ... too many short runs to the liquor store down the street in cold weather. or, you tried to pressure-wash yer engine.

Yeah what Andy said. Sounds like you got water in your oil somehow. Leave the filler cap off on a rainy day?

If it's on the dipstick, you got a problem. If it's only on the oil filler cap, you're not getting the engine hot enough to burn out the condensation. More long drives on some twisty roads does wonders. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif)
