Yamaha head. all 4ages go through oil after a while. If it is really noticeable then the problem with doing head work is 20 valves. thats a lot of valve springs to move.

No leaks! They are pretty good at leaking out of the vvt solenoid and the dizzy

Can you be a bit more scientific in "Using Heaps of oil" as I have had many customers describe this phenomenon and it is interesting how personal perception varies. e.g Recorded mileage versus exactly how much oil you have to put in to match the top mark each time on a level surface!

If its using less then a litre of oil per 5000k's just put up with it, if its running too cold replace the thermostat. As for being gutless down low, they are like that, but running it on decent fuel helps, ie 95/98, these engines have 11-1 Compression and hate 91 fuel.

Hey one other place oil leaks which is really common on these engines is the fuel filter adapter seal. They wear out and the seals go flat where they should be rounded. You could be loosing some oil there. Also try cleaning the air to fuel ratio senor. Mine was filthy and was very sluggish. Now its running much better now.

Dear Susan,I have been considering doing the Daniel fast and found your webtise concerning it. Several years ago the Lord led me to do a similar eating plan. I felt the Lord say that I did not have a golden calf in my life, I had a chocolate-sugar coated calf that consumed by thinking as I bowed down to it on a very regular basis. I called this way of eating my no sweets, no meats diet. I did it for about 1 1/2 years. I was amazed at how good I felt. NOTHING could have ever convinced me that sugar made me tired until I stopped eating it and found out how much more energy I had. I also noticed how much more clearly I heard the voice of God and equated at least some of it with the fact that I felt so much better physically. I recently went to full time work when my husband became disabled. This change has left me grasping for convience and our eating habits are nothing like they used to be. I long to eat better but do not know where to begin. Just last year my husband was diagnosed with Crohn's disease which has made eating even more of a challenge. I am interested in learning about the Daniel fast for my own life but was wondering if you knew how, or if, to approach such change when a person has Crohn's disease. Can you give me any information about this subject? The medical doctors and community have been no help. Often they suggest that he eat pudding, jello and mashed potatoes. I am very concerned about the lack of nutrition he receives on a daily basis. I don't know where to turn.Blessings!Dee

I have a wedding to be in in November, I'm a brmiisdaed. When I was fitted for my dress I was 10 pounds lighter. I am TERRIFIED! I'm even talking to my husband about getting counseling because I just can't remain in control of my choices. I don't know what I'm going to do. It seems like if I was on an island for 30 I would have time to prep foods, eat well, exercise etc But the reality is I run my own business out of my home, I homeschool for 4 hours a day, I'm a wife to a husband who can eat anything and will not gain an ounce! And I'm on a fixed income and fixed time! I feel like I'm just drowning. I hope this CLN will help.
