Have had the car back on the road about a week now and have put nearly 1000km's on it (you do the math)
Have used nearly a litre of oil and i am sure that nearly none of it has been burned as there are signs of it all over the floor of the shed and the engine bay. one of the plugs I had on the right hand head vent came off and oil has sprayed everywhere in that area. I also put a breather filter on the oil fill box and there is lots of oil in the filter and on the box itself. Not sure if this should be worrying or normal. I plan to make a breather box when i get some time soon and am still debating plumbing the breather into the intake. Look forward to ideas and opinions Edwin |

Probably should have said most of that first.
Engine is a 1.8 and was running and using no oil. PO had the engine rebuilt and it feels very strong. I've just done a conversion from the terrible dual 32mm carbs to aftermarket EFI with quad throttle bodies Only filled to the top mark and now shows just above min. I expect the plug came off the head while a friend was driving and i was tuning. We hit a corner pretty hard just under the limiter in 4th and the oil light flashed mid corner. That run i was tuning for full throttle high revs so it would build crankcase pressure anyway. My big concern is the oil fill box which just has a filter in the breather port without a pcv Cheers Edwin |
