ive been burning my oil
 not entirly sure what it can be. just rebuilt my bottom end so rings are new and have prolly put 2000 on it since i put it in. i only see smoke on start up and upper rpms say 4,500 or so. some of my friends say my rings could have not set right, and i read if it were rings it would be more constant smoke? my head has never been touched, but has new seals. i have been running lean so i guess its possible that the seals could have worn. im not sure. ive done compression tests and got around 200 on all 4. i want to get a new head, but it is quite pricey to just take a chance with. any one got any suggestions as to what i can do?

Hmm, is it a good deal of oil? This could be the oil you are burning if the PCV system is malfunctioning. This can be from a few different causes including the rings not seating properly leaving too much end gap where the rings are split. I once had a Subaru that burned a quart every 250 miles due to blow-by. If you remove the hose and run the engine for a bit you may see oil dripping, if so it's a fairly safe bet you have an issue with the PCV system. Make sure to close off the hole on the intake so you don't pull crap into your engine though. This post has been edited by Jamchell: Aug 30, 2009 - 12:35 AM |
