Damn Oil!!

You all hit the nail on the head and this picture shows the inside of the common chamber (intake) bathed in oil mist from excessively blowby. My compression had sunk to 120 +- on all cylinders. Mfg specs say the minimum should not be less than 145! and feel this is where my HP loss was coming from. So I traded my VX.

At least the butterflies & their associated control shafts were staying well lubricated...
