Routing the oil into the maint ports makes sense though. At that point it will just get pushed into the rotor housing and will just be extra lubrication for the apex seals. To have it route into the accordian tube just makes a mess of a bunch of stuff. However...it does help explain why Steve had problems now and not all summer. Oil could have been there since he bought the car and just the cold temps of winter caused the SSV to sieze.

Hey Steve... its been a couple days.
How has the car been treating you (or how have you been treating her )

I did record my lowest temp in the car last night... intake temp read "1 degree" or -17 Celsius.
But year... everything appears to be going to plan.
I'll order my catch can today, and probably stop by autozone for some new battery clamps as well as have them clear my CEL codes.

If they did then you would never had had any problems because owner #1 would have already installed it. ![Smilie](https://www.rx8club.com/images/smilies/smile.gif)
BHR Ignition Kit should arrive today. Since it's supposed to get up to a balmy 45 degrees on Saturday I think I'll spend some QT with my car. See if I can use some of the things I learned on Saturday to clean up my car.

Holla - I'm thinking about going this route instead of a catch can...
Thoughts?

If my gauges and can come in then I may make it a full day and change my oil, cut up my dash, put in the lotek gauge pod, and install my oil catch can and my gauges. I can even go into Sunday if I need to.
Also going to check my intake for oil now that I know what to look for. May clean that as well or put that off for next week when I have W/Th off and then the weeeknd.
Hopefully will have everything done by then so I'll be completely ready for the trip in 2 weeks. If I need more stuff that should give me enough of a window to get it.

Sooooo....... Since I'm totally out of the loop here, I'll barge in and ask a totally non-RX8 related question:
For those of you out there who are a little more *ahem* "life experienced" than me......I've got to cook a ham tomorrow in a slow cooker. Anyone have any tips? I've read that it should be in there for anywhere between 6-8 hrs on low (it's a 7lb ham). My only concern is that it might dry out. Will it be ok in there without some sort of sauce/marinade/whatever addition? If I've got to put something in there with it, what should it be??
Thanks for the help, and please don't let me F up my Xmas ham.

According to this recipe you don't even use a sauce. I thought the whole point of slow roasting was to keep the juices in so you should be fine.

Hello to everyone! I've been creeping in here every once in a while, but I'm certainly not up to speed on what's going on with everyone's cars. I look forward to meeting up with you guys again after the white fluffy stuff is gone, and my car's out of hibernation, to get caught up on things.
