Checking AOS

Ok, first we look at the AOS..

I did the oil-cap-test.

It really felt easy to open the oil cap, no powerful vacuum at all, but I realize this is totally subjective since I have no vacuum meter.


I then went on and popped the plenum & throttle body. I must say, there is some oil in there, but is it normal levels? As you see my finger get quite soaked when I scrape the inside of the plenum, I donīt see a lot of oil in the actual manifold. at least not a lake.. ;-)

So, does this mean that my AOS is not up to the job? Should I change it? I have been tracking with R-compounds, but not since last year, so I cannot imagine the oil beeing that old.

As you can see the throttle body was kind of dirty as well, cleaned this up.
