Strange Motor Problem, Oil Consumption
What are the symptoms of a failing or failed valve stem seal on a small block Ford?
I'm trying to track down a oil usage and periodic but not often "puffing smoke" out of one side only. Then it stops.
Oil consumption is heavy, but no sign of where it is going, not much smoke or oily mess anywhere.....frustrating.
Motor runs great otherwise, no smoke on start up or rev up. No smoke in normal driving. But, do get "smoke" coming out of right side pipe after shut down and it smells different, like wax burning.
Any help or sequence to start looking for the problem will be really be appreciated.
Thanks.
