Alright so on a lighter note my pointer finger looks like a *****. Good to know.
Thankfully tomorrow is the last day of the semester. Just had sleet here for like two minutes, I decided I would quit for the night and do some algebra. I am in FL right?! Freezing rain ha!
Hey Rob this time it is my car.

I'm guessing it wasn't in too bad shape on dyno day as the car seemed to be running fine, but that night on the return trip I was about 10 minutes from home when it started overheating the first time.
Also the back of my block was wet yesterday, like coolant was coming out by cylinder #7. Guy that is going to check for flatness is also going to examine the head gaskets to try and determine failure.
Also the very first time running the car in the morning it doesn't want to hold a steady idle. I'm hoping this is related to this issue. If not I guess I'll have to see if I could leave my car overnight at EFI Alchemy after the holidays so they can see what it is doing on a freezing cold first startup. Rest of the day the car runs great just like the day it was tuned. So I'm not sure what is different at cold startup, except maybe it is related to this head gasket issue. So we will see early next week. Have class this afternoon, but going to go get a few hours into it here.

explain to me what fuel trims do
Sucks about your ride... at least you know what your doing. I dont know what all this talk about dicks is about but, in the second photo, Looking at the sludge in the center of the cap, I can see the head of a chick holding her hand in front of her face with one boob and nipple showing below her arm.. clear as day! ha!

Exactly! If you guys ever get the chance pull the oil cap off of a Dodge pickup with a Hemi and you will see all kinds of sludge build up like this (water basically runs off of the cap there is so much moisture in the motor)!

do you have an engine oil cooler? about a few weeks ago i had the same buildup in my radiator but the engine oil was perfectly fine at the dipstick...it turned out that the oil cooler i had was the sandwich adapter that had an internal cooler instead of an external cooler and turned out that it was mangled up inside..i think they only made these oil coolers from 93-95 and then gm ditched it cause it was inefficient

That is exactly what my '89 Ranger 2.9 beater trucks oil cap looked like. I bought 100 quarts of .99 cent/qt oil, and changed it every 200 miles. Drove it for 6000 miles like that until it spun a bearing. If you are going to throw away the motor anyhow, why not just keep driving it until it dies

This is true I have not driven my car for a good distance in a while. I was thinking of this thread so I pulled my oil cap off and sure enough I had some condensation, but no where near as much as shown in the pics.
