Hey Chris,

I'm happy to hear that this is normal even for a freshened B230FT like mine. It puts my mind at ease. Do you think it will get worse? Do you think I should continue to use Amsoil or should I try Mobil 1 at the next oil change. My Vo mechanic is stocking Amsoil mostly for me, but if it's hurting my engine I'll try Mobil 1. The water pump was replaced during the rebuild with a completely new pump. My mechanic did a major job on my engine. He replaced many parts including sensors, vac lines etc. He even moved my distributor to the front of the engine (old style) and totally repainted the block, and sand blasted and painted the oil pan, turbo lines, etc. It looks GREAT. Too bad it still slaps...Oh well, it's not nearly as bad as it use to be at least and I hope it stays that way!
