It has lost the usual dark brown/black, clean consistancy. Now it's more grey and has a grittiness to it that it never had before. I'm going to do a compression test once I get the valvetrain back together and see if I may be losing my rings.
I've done 2 oil changes in the past 100 miles just to try to clean it out. I've been thinking of hooking up the drill to the oil pump and pumping clean oil through for a half hour with some magnets on the pan, then changing the oil and repeating a couple times, to see if it cleans it out some. Do they have cleaning additives for such a thing??
I'm just kind of worried that the motor may be grinding down to it's death at an alarming rate
