    FINAL UPDATE!! (I hope): Got my li'l Black & Blue back Thursday night. Engine's replaced, sensor cable replaced, shes running great, seems like everything is good to go. They haven't said anything about it but I plan to wait 1000 miles and see what the oil situation is...THAT will be the true test of it.

    Just when I thought it was my final update...I'm approaching 1000 miles on my NEW motor and it seems I'm already 1/2 -3/4 of a quart down...headed to the dealer over the weekend so I can have it checked/refilled by them...here we go again!!

    The first few hundred miles will use some oil during the brake-in period.
    Completely normal. I forget what the brake-in mileage actually is. but it is in the owners manual.

    Well, here we go again...4500 miles on new engine and its time for an oil change...I pull her up on the ramps and lo and behold oil all over the bottom of the engine again...The pics are eerily like the ones from 2 years ago...I'm dropping it off tomorrow, we'll see what happens...This will be the third time, not feeling good about it.:(
