1.6ltr/1.7ltr engines.



the only thing my 1.6 cam is agressive at is spilling
oil out that hose to the air intake.  on a 30 min trip
i lost 1 litre of oil... i think some of it went out
the tailpipe in a cloud of blue smoke though.  
as david put it- i have problems.  
and he didn't mean my medications, haha
