no, dry it out and do the dam thing. Stop worrying.

The more you let the water sit there the worse things may get....

Re: What did i get myself into?

thats not how you do an oil change? I thought you pulled the head and poured all the oil on top of the pistons?

This whole time I've been doing it wrong!

doesn't that add like 50 horsepower? I already have like 5 stickers and I don't want anymore power, I might loop out a power whoolie!

I already make sure I only use 87 octane gas, that 91 octane stuff adds too much power!

yeah, i only power 'em up in 6th gear cuz it's too twitchy in the other gears!! btw, never use synthetic oil, it messes up your balance point sensor.

I've been runing semi-synthetic, will that mess it up? Already had to replace a brake rectifier and kamakularized sphinometer just this month

oh yeah, I'm geared -8 +30, is that enough to be able to ride slow wheelies, like 30mph or so?
