    Oil consumption is still down & I'm still not accumulating any in the catch can. I assume that with the long hose runs with my set up (slightly uphill), the oil is condensing on the inside of the feed tube & dripping back into the valve cover. That tube is opaque so I can't tell.

    I'm getting some discoloration in the indicator tube on the catch can & on the clear exit tube from the catch can (to the combustion chamber) so obviously there's gasses flowing.

    The bottom line though is that my oil consumption is still low so I'm on the right track. Mebbe a switch to Rotella will bring it down more.

    This mod will definitely be copied over to both VX's in the near future.
