Not Ranked
I'm on the fence with this one. A little oil consumption is OK on this thing. It's not like my daily drivers who's hoods only get raised every 12,000 miles by the Jiffy Lube guy.
A little oil getting by is a good thing...keeps the valve guides lubed. I just don't want an embarrassing amount of smoke from anywhere other than my back tires. I also feel like I need more reason that some of the other guys with orange seals have excessive smoke to start a complaint and waste the time arguing over $60 worth of seals. What a pain in the arse. Is anyone running one of these engines now without oil consumption problems? Is it a minor issue with a few engines or is across the board. For that matter, Is it across the board with the Z heads, including the ones shipped on the 392 previous to this engine? How about the other engines with the Z heads? Does anyone know what brand the orange seals are? All of the ones I saw on Summit look black. |
