Okay Thanks for the feedback. I started this thread and I think I've read a few good responses. I hope it's top engine (like a dry lifter), and I think looking into the oil filter is worth trying. It would be better if the filter hung vertically so half the oil didn't drain when its not running.

Good luck and let us know!

If it doesn't work, I'll be the first to admit I was wrong... It just seems like a low ri$k experiment to try ...
