hey,

I have recently changed the timing belt on my x12sz engine, now i have noticed a clear consistancy on the dipstick when i check the oil, is this the head gasket? or something else??
Cheers
Nick

Try unplugging the coolant temp sensor on the bottom of the inlet manifold and seeing if performance when cold improves.
