Not Ranked
Hmmm.....wish I had that kind of luck. I've tried many different oil blends and weights, from 70w racing oil to 20-50w to 10-30w, even tried a pint of STP as an experiment. Nothing stopped the oil consumption, ruling out my rings and the discovery of oil in the intake port, per my earlier message. Until I get the heads worked on, I am using 10-30w dino oil. By the way, the oil consumption has always followed my gas consumption. Heavy on the throttle, heavy on oil use. Light on the throttle, like on the freeway and the motor will use ONLY 1 quart for about 450-500 miles.
Lesson learned, always have your new heads checked for guide clearance and proper seal installation before installation on the motor.
