Blue Smoke??
Hey, i was wondering if putting too much oil in my 93 R1 would cause extreme amounts of blue smoke to come out of my exhaust???

It's pretty common during startup to see blue smoke for about 30 seconds due to the oil injection.
As for overfilling I'd say its never good to overfill the oil, it can be hard on the seals due to the excess pressure, for that reason I dont find it unreasonable to consider that excess oil would be burned off through the exhaust.

I'm just curious, and still learning all about my new toy, whats the proper oil pressure reading. Say, at 3k RPMS I should be....at 60? 5K over 60? What, I'm just curious...

OK, jb weld is for metals i thought, its plastic, what can i use for that? if you have the stock oil pressure guage, u can forget about getting accurate readings so get an aftermarket one then worry about it

For the best readings check it when the car hasnt been run for some time, like in the morning before you've driven anywhere.
The stock oil pressure guage isnt very accurate, it gives you a good idea but they seem to go their own after sometime. Mine has been pretty consistant so far but I dont really worry about its readings as I've seen close to 0 at idle before and right at 120 before when WOT.
Oh yes, and JBweld will work fine for the plastics. It's the number one fix for solenoid breakage in America!
