427 burning oil-another one
I read 68Pony's debacle about the seals in his FR 427, I have 1600 miles on my car now and have recently noticed a bit of gray smoke when starting and have burnt close to a qt of oil (assuming the amount between the 2 lines on the dipstick is equal to 1 qt) in approx 400 miles.
Should I be concerned? no oil is present at the tip of the sidepipes (as I believe was the case with 68Pony's car but I do see smoke on start up even when warmed up then it goes away immediately then of course the burning oil issue.
My engine is different as it is the aluminum motor with solid lifters so I was hoping to skirt this problem but now I'm not sure-thx
