In other words, what is an acceptable amount of oil loss?
I'm going through Rave to find out where this is, since I noticed a dirty area (sounds like your "cottage cheese" area but a little less pronounced--maybe more like brownie crumbs) around an area on the left side of the engine.rrtoadhall said:Sounds like a Bret Easton Ellis novel, that.? :shock: Acceptable would be zero.
Realistic would be slightly less than zero
[quote:1ousn1pf] I loose none out the rear and about 4 or 5 tablespoons due to a leaky camshaft sensor. I am in the midst of a full rebuild and was shocked to find almost no remnants of the O-ring on said sensor. The area around it and the entire front cover look like black cottage cheese.
