No excessive burning of oil, a quart of Lucas stabilizer during the last oil change fixed that (no more smoke @ high RPM yay!) I'm going to be checking the TPS and a couple other things as soon as I remember to buy a new battery for my DVOM.

Not necessarily a good thing...
That stuff basically just increases the viscosity of the oil.
Increasing the viscosity of the oil causes it to flow slower through the stock oil injection?
Assuming that's still intact...you're under lubricating your engine now.

^Roger that, recommend you run premix with the fuel as a precaution.

1oz/gal ever since I replaced the oil injection lines. Kept checking them and 3 lines never filled, this was far before the Lucas.
