Lots of oil in exhaust pipe

[jsledder]

So last night I lay my exhaust on the floor, come back this morning and there is at least 1/2 cup of oil that came out of it. Oil pump appears to be working fine, has a FBF cable on it and it springs back like it should and appears to be lined up.

What causes this....

When you first start your sled the pipe is cold and oil gathers in the pipe. As the pipe heats up most of it burns off. So if you run your sled a few minutes to let the engine heat up and shut it off you collect a bunch of oil till you go out and ride the hell out of it.

So it might not be anything to worry about? I was thinking maybe cause I didn't run dino oil in it after changing out the pistons last year and the rings weren't sealed yet, but the tops of the pistons look normal.

It could be nothing or it could mean your oil pump is putting out to much oil. I start mine once a month over the summer and run it up to operating temperature and it tend to load the pipe with oil. Check the adjustment on your oil pump.

that is a sign that you need to ride it. until you get the pipe hot land burn it out its going to be there.

I start it periodically over the summer also, let it get up to temp and run for a few minutes, I'm going to guess that's the problem Z and rider, thanks.

Now, to find out why the front motor mounts are broke, put new ones in last year.... perhaps it's because the front crossmember is cracked?
