2 stroke...I knew a fella in high school with that nickname..

I got my report from Blackstone today. This OCI was about 3000 miles of nearly all short trips, city driving and practically no highway. It took nearly a year to put 3000 miles on it. I think I also collected the oil near the beginning of the drain process. I’m not sure if that’s the reasons for the big increase in copper or if I have bearings going. I did no maintenance so it’s not break-in like they mentioned as a possibility. I guess I’ll have to wait another year to find out if it was just a 1-time thing.

I know a guy with that nickname. I have a feeling his reasonings aren't the same as your guy's.

In the past 5K miles, my copper went from 21 to 27 and lead went from 0 to 2. I just try to not think about it. lol

I wonder what my copper % was at here?

It was "YES"

What's that from?

Installed the new coolant overflow tank. Oh so THATS the cooking level?
Love my spring clamp pliers, they make this so easy.

Does that header wrap make a significant difference on anything?

Hell yes! It makes that intake tube look awesome.

Emptied the catch can today. After 3000+ miles I got a few ounces.
