Is this a big problem? If so how BIG??
Thanks Again for all your imput
That is when the most damage will happen. Any unburned WVO will find it's way to the ring lands. It will start to coke and freeze up the rings. They will stop sealing against the cylinder wall and then the whole process builds on it's self.
I think you would seriously shorten the life of the PSD. But if it's got 400K worth of miles on it then it may not matter to you. In that case I'd go for it and let us all know how it goes.
