Use cheap and nasty oil first, then on the final change, put in the good stuff. Remember to change filter both times. I cracked a head about 11 years ago and that's how I got the foamy gunk out. . . //Robert bandhartnopsameja.com wrote: > A few weeks ago, posted a message about an 87 900 S 16 V (non turbo), > blowing white smoke.
