i know how hard this industy is to make a living in outside school and in the real world, and i know i still have a lot to learn. and i mean A LOT, but i just cant agree with ur statement that full synth is bad on any engine. and i apoligise for over-reacting earlier.. just had a bad day. and also, im no super tech.. i just passed the natef certification courses.. and i know 25 psi is too much for my engine. it runs great at 15 psi, and i try not to push it past there. i know its not doing much of anything for power and its just generating a lot of heat.. also, if you read back, i did state that engines DO have blow-by.. liek you said, it is physically impossible to have zero blow-by. soo ill tone it down, sit back, and listen
