Hopefully all will be back to normal tomorrow

Ah yes, Mr. Turkey, that would be the notorious ring of fire which follows ingestion of foods from the subpeninsula. I personally like the Baaaah vindaloo (lamb) and if it doesn't make my hair and eyeballs sweat, well it just wasn't properly prepared. You may also be referring to the "morning after" vindaloo effect, usually accompanied by crying out while reading your favorite car magazine.

Good curry down there in Oz?

Scalp sweats, that's what I call it. You know that you have had a good curry when you need a towel.

Ahhh.... the blowing out the carbon excuse. I say that to my girlfriend everytime I redline my cars. I just tell her that I'm just blowing out the carbon deposits and keeping everything clean.

Normal operation when skirt rings are seating in. Where do all you others think the oil is going anyways? S2K's like oil a lot, particullarly in their early days. The oil is combusted......and where there's fire there's smoke.

Yes, we enjoy our curries down here - when you're not out enjoying the Stook they certainly keep life entertaining (espec. that visit to the bathroom on the morning after!).

As they say (gotta use the right accent here - I assume you know what loo means)
- Today Vindaloo, tomorrow "in da loo"

Personally I'm a beef man rather than lamb but I won't say no as long as it's hot!

I'm also pretty keen on a good Tex-Mex (with plenty of Jalapenos) but we have a pretty limited range of restaurants serving that cuisine by comparison with the ubiquitous offerings from the Indian sub-continent.

Speaking of hot sweats - I aways drink ice cold beer with my curries, nothing goes down better.

Just remember to check your oil level often during the early weeks/months of the car - esp. if you notice it smoking out the rear end! <G>

The smoking and oil loss should go away about about 5000 miles (based on experience).

Thanks for the great info!
I'm not noticing it much now!
It was white and it was happening on a fairly warm day in the afternoon!
