Message	The same. I believe thats just wear, the closer it gets to the copper the lighter the color gets. My number 4 was down to the copper-it runs leaner than the other cylinders so knock is more likely to occur, oil reaches 5 and 6 later and is also hotter since its at the back of the water jackets. ____________________________________________________ "The dreaded 2nd windshiled wiper swipe when you turn it off its almost like tis showing you that it's boss, and it doesn't have to stop when you tell it to :("-College Boy (discussion on ptu relocation) "No good reason to put it there anyway. -Bernie (NoVA) False -vorpalZ False. -Bernie (NoVA) You're correct, there are 3 good reasons -vorpalZ False. -Bernie (NoVA) Wow, right again, just remembered another, make that 4 -vorpalZ" XD
