Bad rings, holed piston, something. Taking it really easy. Gonna get te whole mess as far as I can. Just stopped to check oil after 40 or so miles from trailer pick up.

on chads suggestion I removed my oil caps and tried to clamp the tappet cover breather hose shut. I'm hoping for a quart or two low with the changes I made....

I've got 2 gallons with now, I think. 200 miles to go.

Oh - and Springfield MA can eat a bowl of dicks if I didn't mention that. No oil one place, pump wouldn't work another, no bathrooms at a third, got lost... Ended up back at the place whose pump wouldn't work to get oil. Uugh! Put me back well over an hour for what should have been a 15 minute stop.

1/4 or 2/3qt low after 40-45. I'm gonna head for the Petro at x41 fr next stop. That's 70 from here. Added none.

Great news IMO.

All downhill after Syracuse. Started running on 5 when I pulled in to Warner service area. Took 2 gallons, didn't want to crank. Slow/hard.

Made it home running on 5. Stalled in my driveway and would barely turn over. I'm betting an exhaust valve isn't opening. I'm sure that didn't do any extra harm over the last 70 miles or so!

Pushed a little oil too. 2 gallons used since Warner, no pressure while I was parking if it was below 1000.

Hosed!

Rustproofing the old fender. Bottom of the new hood won't look so new anymore I'm sure
