Sounds like a shot oil retainer ring (I think that is what it is called) on your piston(s). If this is the case, then you are looking at re-doing the rings...do all of em while you have her cracked open...if you have the money, it would also be a good time to have the head shaved, and put a metal head gasket in with ARP head bolts torqued to 72lbs.

Oil guage sender unit. Turbo oil feeder either at the block, turbo or the return to the sump. Head gasket. Cam covers. Engine oil cooler or piping. Cam position sensor o-ring. Sump plug loose or stripped. Sump damaged or distorted. Sump gasket. Excessive engine breathing.

This is just a small list

Give us this day free of cops, And forgive us our impound charges, as we forgive those who are slow. And lead us not into speed traps, and deliver us from the interceptors, For thine is our car, the power, and the glory…forever and ever….amen.

This is just a small list __________________ So I bought this old Honda bike, an NSR250. Bit of a street racer, I guess. I'm told they're fast. Delivering it home with a friend driving the Supra for the first time. I drop gears and make a scream from the twin pipes flowing down this pony's flanks and it takes off like it's tail's on fire. I look back when the Honda gets to its tap-out and the Supra's only two lengths behind. No one I've let ride my bike has told me its slow, they've all loved the thing. That car is a good thing indeed.
