Remembering the numerous mechanical adventures I shared with the S-Bitch, I
think this may be related to a bad head rebuild 3 years ago.

 When I tested the compression, wet and dry, the compression was 10-20 psi
better with oil in the cylinder which tends to say valves and cylinders
leaking. But I?ve read in a few places that a leaking cylinder ring will
burn oil and the S-Bitch burn less than a ? quart between oil changes. So,
can I expect just a head rebuild ? may be worth it ? or should I prepare for
a full rebuild ? which will probably means the S-Bitch will be parted out
instead.

I was thinking it's all in your head, Vincent, I was.  In some sort, certainly!

Opens the inevitable inquiry:  here's to hoping this disorder doesn't render you with the feared S-Bitch compression regression progression digression?  //Southbound travels Bavarian style instead then?  Or hitcharide with //Strangways and his buddy John in his clonetomycar?

Beware if Vincent offers you any of his //Special juice - not as minderasing as //Serge's shine buuuuuuuuuut...

-Paul see you in 4 V K.



ps.  my UrS6 gulped near 2qt/thou V and no compression issues - that I knew of that is...
