GL450, GL550 oil burner?
Is a GL450 just as likely, or not, to be an oil burner as a GL550? Does either have a better or worse track record in that department?

they are pretty much the same engine.

a case could be made that if buying used the 550 was driven harder, but given the typical target buyer (soccer mom) - that is not always the case.

So what's happening with your oil burner? I just changed the separator and cam housing plugs and will see what happens now.
