I hate to tell ya'; but if the oil is slow to come up on the first
startup; there is a difference in the sound.


Probably because all the slime on all the parts is COLD.

You don't REALLY think it all drains down into the bilge during the night,
do you, leaving just bare metal?

Tell ya what.....a little test. Take some plain old Rotella and dip your
screwdriver down into it. Lay the screwdriver out on something you don't
care about. Feel it, say, tomorrow and see if it cleaned itself off. Next
time you pump out the crankcase, dip something you love in crankcase used
oil. Lay it out and see if it cleans itself off.

That engine isn't bare metal when you crank it up. It's covered in slimy,
greasy, carbony gook from the bottom of the crank to that leaky valve cover
gasket.

Speaking of that, did the engine clean itself off when that gasket leaked
last? Did you ever GET it cleaned off with those exotic cleaners? Live
steam will clean the parts. Engines don't have live steam, inside, we
hope...(c;

It runs on gook!
