Update!!!

well, after having some spare time finally this summer... i figured i'd tackle installing my RAS, and diagnosing the mysterious white foam problem. i started by taking off my valve cover and i almost feel on my a$$ by surprise... all through my head was what looked like someone had water my head instead of watering the flower pot. it was moisture build-up after all. i drained all of the oil that was in it, and un bolted the lower oil pan. this gunk, was every where. so with the valve cover and oil pan off... i ran about 6 quarts of 5w-30, 4 quarts of 10w-30, and 2 quarts of 20w-50 straight in and straight out of the engine. there was no way off removing the gunk from underneath the valve cover or oil pan, so i pressure washed both of them. i let the oil drip out all night... so today, after waking up, i ran to my local autoparts store, and pick up a el cheapo oil filter, el cheapo oil, k&n oil filer(with the nut on the end for removal with a size 1 wrench), and some havoline oil(hey, it was on sale.) after installing the RAS with the FSM, i prepped the oil pan to go back on. i grey RTV'd the oil pan stuck in back on yadda yadda yadda. bolted everything back up, installed el cheap'o oil filter, and el cheapo oil. started it up(still with the snap-on starter button) and it ran perfect. i let the temp gauge get to where it should be, and cut the car off. after it cooled down, i again did the same process. jacked up the car once again, and installed the k&n oil filter, and the good oil. and ran it again. no more white gunk!!! my sr seems to be running strong, and it purs like a kitten. Thanks guys!!!
