Burning oil

[FJ1100mjk]

The FJ seems to have problems with oil rings sticking if the engine sits for a period of time .
This is usually cured with a spirited ride that has lots of acceleration and long deceleration engine braking style riding. clears it right up and will increase compression numbers on a engine that has sat for awhile.   

It shouldn't be too long before the next Ribbert Report comes out on this nugget of information.

If there is a point that needs clarifying, or in this case, expanding sound but incomplete information, I wait to see if anyone answers. If they don't, I chip in. I know what happens when people act on part information.

Any time you feel the urge to move from commentator to contributor, feel free. There's nothing in it for me.

As for the Ribbert Report on the above "nugget" - it it fixes your problem, great.

Geeez!

Lotta' love in this room. Don't step in it, or get any on you!

One of my 90's has been burning oil, and I wasn't aware of just how badly until Scott, Jeff and I met up with Fred for a ride. Poor thing needs some attention in the ring and guide department.

I haven't yet been up into an FJ engine, so this might be my opportunity. George recently did his rings, so I feel inspired.

Personally, I'm a big fan of the "Ribbert Reports". Noel seems to know what he's talking about, and is patient (and giving) enough to commit his thoughts to our discussions.

The annual Leesburg Bike Fest is in full swing this weekend, and the cruisers are out in DROVES.

`nuff chat, time to get something useful accomplished.
