my dak has got alot of condensation and rust and white froth on the dipstick
lately, i know it must be water but where is it coming from, is this a bad
sign? the motor has 150,000 mi on it and runs strong, but burns 10w-30 almost
a quart every 3000 mi with 10W-40 about a 1/4 quart. i'm pulling the plugs
tommorrow to see if they can reveal anything. Last time i changed the oil the
dipstick was crappy but there was no evidence of crap in the oil, whats going
on, any info apperciated, also i need a new set of rod and main bearings, who
do you reccomend (federal/clevite ect?) and why, one more question, what do
you have to disconnect (ign.) to do a compression check without hurting
something such as coil ect.
Thanks
