whitechef Posted October 10, 2009 Report Share Posted October 10, 2009 Greetings all, I just got home yesterday after 2 months in Wyoming. The Yokohama mama ran like a champ. It was about 1300 miles of driving at 70 mph for 21 hours. Went through 13 qts of oil before I bought a gallon of Lucas oil thickener then no problems. So I'm glad to be back and look forward to visiting the site again. Quote Link to comment

Thank god for redbull and no-doze! Quote Link to comment
whitechef Posted October 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2009 wow! 13 quarts! You should pull the engine and swap in some new gaskets.:D It didn't leak a drop. I think that the valve seals are bad. It started dogging out going through Utah so I pulled the #1 plug and it was dry fouled so I scraped it off, put it back in and blasted for home without further incident. The only time it smokes is after going down a long hill. Also, on the way home if I knew I was coming to a hilly country I would fill it up with premium now it pings when I put in regular. The old girl must have got kind of spoiled, LOL Quote Link to comment

Guest DatsuNoob Posted October 12, 2009 Report Share Posted October 12, 2009 Now I'm no math whiz, but shit, that's a qt every 100 miles!:eek:, Holy shit dude. Quote Link to comment
whitechef Posted October 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2009 Yeah kind of wierd, huh? I don't know where it's going but it smokes after it's been idleing for a while and after I coast down a hill. But it clears up after a half a mile or so. Like I said before, I pulled the plugs somewhere in Utah and cleaned the plugs because it was running poorly, lack of power going up hill and just plain old dogging out. The #1 plug was fouled really bad to the point of dissapearing electrode so I scraped and wire brushed it out along with the rest of the plugs and went merrily along my way. I tried to buy a set of points in Riverton, Wyo. to no avail, they never heard of such a thing there. Quote Link to comment
AtomChurch Posted October 12, 2009 Report Share Posted October 12, 2009 im willing to bet it is still smoking while your drive it just doesnt have a chance to collect anywhere, and the ammount of smoke there is is hidden with the other exhaust gasses. :D Quote Link to comment
