Yeah I noticed since I been in Cali in this dry dust I have to clean my filter and I disassemble my intake track after every ride and run some water thru the ducts. I noticed I cant get it all, some is caked on and hard to get to. If I were out for a week in that stuff I try and do it at least once.
Any small amount of dust would be burnt @180- 225F before it got past the rings I see very little burnt cake on dust on my throttle valve, and if u see blow by out your filler you need some new rings before the piston starts a rockin and rollin and you need a new one of those and a cyl nickle plate or worse. Just do a leak down test and see.
I'm burning a lot of oil for some reason, don't know why. I'm going to monitor it @ Acorn get some facts.
My oil has been very clean too, good job popo.
I'm only replacing on a as need basis, I got other places to put my $ besides oil companies only thing I fear is warrante maybe I shouldn't.
