Thank you. It’s has definitely gotten better so I’m hoping it will continue and taper off. I’m just the type of person that gets bothered when I can’t figure something out or it’s not 100% but I too am getting better about that 😂

I've always had good results with Stubbs. Might want to go nosing around the shop and ask a few questions. They have been straight up with me. There personnel have been around forever. Its been a few years since I have been there. That's the way it was when I got out of the big city.

I've put about 5k miles (wish it could be more) since issue was resolved and still doing well! Only other issue I had was a faulty oil pressure switch that would keep the lamp illuminated every now and again after start up and that was last December. Can’t remember if it was this thread where I explained what was Actually my problem but basically a couple trips to the dealer with my consumption problem they finally tore down the engine and found that the oil control rings were installed upside down from factory. Replaced rings and pistons. Also did an update to the cam chest to prevent possible sumping if I remember correctly.
