Maybe, maybe not.
I'll second the valve seals. Is it me or does there seem to be alot of 7As with oil burning problems? Just a note. A compression test [or a leakdown test] won't really show worn/clogged oil control rings. It will show worn compression rings [# 1 and 2]. I'm not telling you that you shouldn't do a compression test, just be aware a test with good results doesn't mean your oil rings are good. --------------------  |
