Nah.. english sounds ok, just sounds like a southern accent. (Bring on the hateful PM's.)

I wouldn't run 20w50 in a modular, unless your tolerances elsewhere in the motor are seriously more than they used to be. If you have that much wear, I'd go ahead and suggest a rebuild anyway. But I doubt that's the case here.

In any case, running thicker oil to prevent burning is merely a band-aid for a bigger problem. Depending on the general condition of the motor itself, I'd say you've got some wear, whether it be valve seals, or rings, etc.
