    Good points. Can someone send what their dip stick looks like. So I can compare? Maybe mine is too long. It is always wet, AND deffinately did not show a low amount for only that to come out. I think there might be some blockage. Where you would I get a gasket? Is it a simple pull off, regasket, put back on prodedure or what should I need to clean it?

    Thanks for the input. Im kinda of worried but the engine runs strong. Almost better than ever.

    Sidebar question.

    Hey, looking at your pix made me remember. The stripes on the intake, silver on the black and it looks like black on the blue, well, mine are coming off of the front. What do you think I could use to get them to stick back on????

    Take them all off and replace with some fresh tape.

    yep i just took mine off and re-taped them with masking tape, then painted the whole piece blue, then pulled the tape off, the best thing for you to do if u want them silver again is pull them off and handpaint some silver stripes on there
