Strange oil color/consistency
Pulled my valve cover to set my valve lash and the inside of the valve cover is a thick and somewhat sticky tan color. Never seen this before. Motor is a 2010 36 PD with rods, pistons, heads, mikuni. Something can’t be good. Running royal purple. Oil only has about 25 hrs on it.

Water and oil make chocolate milk.

Re: Strange oil color/consistency
Does your boat sleep outside and pretty much in the weather?

Re: Strange oil color/consistency
I drained the oil and it looked fine. I'll wipe out the junk, change the oil and run it. Im sure it'll be fine. Thanks for the input.

Re: Strange oil color/consistency
First thing I'd do is drain all that purple oil on an ant bed. That oil is junk.

Re: Strange oil color/consistency
running the motor without getting to Operating temp, big outside temp swings, and outside moisture.... All ways for the valve covers to look like this..

I know OBAMA was a great president but I didn't think that Royal purple was going to make an oil in his honor. lol
