Oil consumption
Might have to hold some cheese cloth behind the pipes next time I have it warmed up after a ride.

Re-looked at exhaust pipe, and there is oil residue. Oil is getting through the pistons. Where it sat so long, would Luca's oil help any?

You should have a leak down test done to see if your rings are holding a seal and engine has good compression before trying anything else
Oils are probably not going to help if you have poor ring seal and or valve seals leaking
Jack.. Me’ I always use the law of parsimony (Occam’s Razor)..IE go to the easy solution first sometimes when an engine sits for long times’ Years? The rings can gum up .. If the Rislone doesn’t work then all the OP is out a quart of oil …
To both rhino2 and Jack Klarich, thank you. Due to finances, I might try the oil additive first. If that doesn't work I might try and find you Jack. It looks like you're in Jax, Fl and I'm about 60 miles in Glen St Mary....lol
Thank you Jack. Your number is written down. By any chance are you doing the Boots on the Ground run on May 7th?
