I wouldn't be too concerned as you said you still aren't done tuning it. On a high mileage shortblock this can mean worn rings. In your case, I'm more worried that you TASTED your motor oil.

Wow, I never thought of that. I'm starting to think that's what happened to mine motor since I knew for a fact it was running VERY rich.
