Can some one else lead this run? Just checked the plugs in my motor, #2 had oil/fuel on it couldn't tell. But #4 plug was absolutely soaked in oil 1800 miles on the rebuild I'm going to retreat back to my shop this weekend and diagnos the engine? Thanks, FLIP.FLOP

spin in a set of freashies and it will be fine? eek!
humm? looks like ash build up if its light brown. could be passing oil through the valve guides? are you running any kind of funky fix all fuel additives?
i talked to "dark side d-man" tonight and he was interested in going saturday. he said the tranny in his tj was smoked and missing third gear. he was going to pick up a boneyard special and r and r it tonight.
thinking im still in for the badger run at this point.

some times it takes a wile to seat rings. Try a new set of plugs and watch that cyl.That looks like oil to me not all that uncommon on a new motor, I have run that route before but I don't know the area enough to lead a trail run. but I can and would like to go. Do you think your still going?

So who's still down to Snow Wheel Saturday? I cann't lead this run, unless I walk it. I found some disturbing things with my little toyota motor(22re).

i should be a go still an if ya want that ride i still have the open seat I might just take you up on that... A few of us are going out tomorrow for awhile to check out the snow level and play around. I'm calling this my field test run. I want to see how this 22re responds to a new set of plugs and I'm going to monitor the oil consumption... Depending on how Friday goes I will either ride with or drive this little toyota on the Saturday run. I just didn't want to be a hypocrite and lead a group up into the snow only to have a squirrel brake loose in the engine and ruin a happy day snow wheeling(that wouldn't define "go prepared or go home"). flip.flop

I believe I'll be able to make this run. As long as my loving wife says it's OK. Yes I wear the pants in the family, just not the belt!
