Looks like coolant in the oil at the end. That would suck.

[@MuvoTX]

(noob question warning) Is that why the exhaust smoke/steam was so thick?... or was that just from the cold start, and tuning not quite optimized? Where do you look to see coolant presence in the oil? I alwsys thought you had to drain the oil to see the coolant, if present...?

MuvoTX normally you would have to Drain the oil, in alot of cases, but he has a see through oil filter system so he is able to see the condition of his oil whenever necessary due to the fact that rotorys love burning oil, and it makes it easier to keep an eye on:)

[@pootmahgoots8482]

You were talking about using the key again to turn on the ignition. Maybe find a way to wire the key switch to act as a battery disconnect so that you still need the key to turn everything on. That way you have a quick solution to cut power to everything in case something bad happens to the car? Just a suggestion. I'd think it'd be pretty cool to still need the key for the car but you can still use the buttons.

[@forbiddenera]

Rob, a fuel cut does not and cannot create a lean situation. Fuel cut means the injector is not fired for that cycle, thus there is no fuel in the engine. About the only time you would really want to use ign cut is when you are also using nitrous or something. I promise you won't ever lean out with fuel cut. I know it's your baby but ask around on HPA or something...and if you aren't on HPA I highly recommend signing up.

Personally don't think there's mixing of engine fluids, unless someone really screwed up, which I would t be surprised at this point. There's a good chance he's seeing a large amount of condensation mixed with the oil, because he keeps running it for about 5 seconds and shutting off, which will accumulate condensate but not get hot enough to remove it.

[@chajonnori5751]

I am going to have say the issue is that he is running water. Right before he says "oh no" (10:32) you can see the clear coolant lid that should have clear fluid in it but that's not what I see/saw.
