I don't know, I'll try that test tomorrow.
But what I can say is the motor has only about 10,000 miles on it maybe.. When it was first assembled, it burned a quart of oil in the first 500-1,000 miles, and continued to burn for around another 1,000 miles at a lesser rate until it finally stopped. I thought that was a very abnormally long amount of time for piston rings to seat. I have a strong feeling the motor may not have been broken in hard enough, hence why the rings took so long to seat.
