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?

sounds like a blow by issue then. you could be blowing past the rings but you'd have lower compression readings i'd think. i don't know if you can blow past valve guides, never really heard of that.
are you sure the PCV is working? is your oil overfilled? This post has been edited by Bitter: Aug 30, 2009 - 3:56 PM -------------------- |
