make no mistake tho... it's a great engine... and yes, it sounds amazing. |
Let me know if you find out the source of the problem as I am experiencing usage of about a quart every 150 miles or so... I have about 10k miles on he engine and have no other problems. I have one plug that is constantly gunked up and suspect I am drawing oil into that cylinder.
