Good write up Paul.. I was actually going to ask if loosing pinch in 1/2 a gallon was a bad thing. But you seem to have nailed it for me.. This is my 2nd Discovery, and I am breaking it in a bit differentlt then the first one. The first one took 3/4-1 gal before no pinch.. But to day at 116 (F) I rolled engine over with some effort, but no metal to metal contact. Or none I could feel..
I am looking forward to The Byrons Nitro Challenge this weekend in St. Louis.. I just need ta get the rest of my parts in..
