    Our biggest problem is the oil drain holes in the rings. Nothing is going to fix that other than an overhaul. You can minimize the problem though by adding a detergent just before every other oil change ... basically just keeping the insufficient holes operating as best they can.

    What type of detergent do you use?

    The Ironman I recently aquired is a real thirsty girl...as in: almost a quart per hundred miles...

    When I get a chance, my plan is a couple quarts of Rotella + a pint of Seafoam in the crank case for 1-2C before the next oil change.

    Then go through the PCV system & treat her to a new PCV valve. (looks like the orig still in there...with 152K on the clock)
