To be honest I was feeling a bit under the weather for this show but I think it came off OK. What did you think?

For the Honda with the oil control ring issue, perhaps running an oil flush chemical would help clean out any plugged up passages before going to the trouble of pulling the engine out.

Not likely at that mileage. As I said in the video it’s a common problem. Check out ToyotaKarl’s post about his rebuild and you’ll see what I’m talking about.

In my opinion, and thats the only one that matters, last nights q&a was excellent. I enjoyed how you jumped around to get a variety of questions/problems.

If the other option is pulling the engine out, I’d try the cheap fix first.
