Anyway, I'm off to bed now - don't keep putting yourself down, chin up old boy!!

Nice to see you're still prepared to boast about how well you've supposedly done.....suspect that really you live on cuppa soup and migraine tablets in a squat in Toxteth, and have an impressionable young ' friend ' who shows you how to hack into an unsuspecting neighbours computer to continue with your ' boring a forum rigid ' regime.
Think of the pleasure you'd give to thousands by conducting an in-depth one man investigation into euthanasia.
Now awaiting with baited breath your inevitable reference to the colour of my car....the originality, the breadth of imagination......
Btw, an engineer as well as everything else, qualified at all, or talking bollox as usual? I suspect if you really had any mechanical/electrical knowledge, you'd know more than you do.

Cranking speed is about 6 revs a SECOND the oil film, unpressurised, is not helping at all in that situation.

I think we can all now agree that the Impreza Turbo can have its Oil Changed in the 'Normal' accepted way and no damage will result.
To do otherwise is a waste of time and effort and could be considered **** - however, everyone to their own ...... some people feel happier doing the 15 walks around the car dressed as Morris Dancers. If it helps you get through the day, then so be it ....

If you don't 'Get It' then you don't get it ........
Others can enjoy if they want to ..... or do you want us ALL to be serious *****??
Anyway, I am only rude to those who ask for it ..... hence why I am at a loss as to explain why Matt P hasn't experienced it daily

What, you think I'm now 'shattered' 'cos of your mind blowingly imaginative response? Unfortunately, as you say, car hasn't sold....I'll live. Hopefully, you won't for much longer!
Right, better get back to my 'glass house' , whatever the hell that means.

Was a bit harsh you're right, you're clearly already dead. And no, I don't know you and I thank God on a daily basis for that particular forgiveness.
Thank you for your concern over the sale of my car.....seems you're more bothered than I am about that. Still, I have a nice shiny Evo to help me get over it.
Oh, and stop trying to think, I've told you before, the smell makes me unwell.

I suppose worn bearings would allow a greater 'splash' and eject more oil each revolution decreasing the chances of oil pressure building quickly enough.
