Excessive oil usage/burning FE
My 428 FE is burning/using excessive amounts of oil. The engine has only 1400 miles and the oil problem seems to affect only the four rear cylinders. The problem has gotten worse since I installed a large capacity oil pan and pickup at 1200 miles. The heads are C8AE-H 69 cc's and do not have the stamped sheet metal oil deflectors installed. Could oil be getting past the intake gasket? Any other ideas?
