Upon cold start my engine idles at 2,000 RPM, but sounds like it is actually idling at 400 RPM with me applying the distilled water treatment to one of the rotors... Once it idles for 30-60 seconds, the engine goes back to normal idling. During this 30-60 seconds there is some definite water vapor coming out of the engine, then once the time is up comes a little bit of blue oil. Voila back to normal idle...

I swear to god I can't tell any loss of power (once warmed), although that won't stop me from doing a compression test tomorrow... I should mention some other confusing parts...

Somehow my crankcase oil light came on yesterday, twice during a 50 mile drive... I wouldn't worry so much, but considering I have Richard Sohn's adapter.... That pretty much tells me that the blue oil I see coming out of the exhaust during startup is definitely not Idemitsu's pre-mix, but the Royal Purple I have in my crankcase...

Coolant level seems to slowly also move down over this whole slow 2 week revelation, but never have I seen my reservoir "bubble" with heat...

This could be the effect of causing a nitrous explosion inside of ones intake at 32 degree, just wondering what my options are...

Anybody have any ideas? On a 1-10 scale, how screwed am I?

From your tone...new engine screwed is probably about right

DarkBrew

Your troubles go to eleven.

Sorry dude

Ya, I just filled up the crankcase oil with 5w30 of Royal Purple, immediately once I turned the car on the oil pressure (stock gauge) moved a tiny amount up...

I'm also noticing power loss I'm screwed, compression test probably won't surprise me to be at 90 psi or lower...

So any engine rebuilds in Texas?

@ 69933 miles I get:

115 psi in the leading plug for the first rotor
105 psi in the leading plug for the second rotor

While I was down I also visited my OMP, and see oil everywhere :/
