I drove 160 miles Wednesday trying to seat the rings. I used 3 1/2 quarts of oil. I would have made a Navy destroyer proud.
So, today I went looking for reasons. There was a small leak at the oil pump so, I resealed that and a little oil on the bottom of the oil filter. Neither could explain my oil consumption so off with the heads (and PCs too). Attached image(s) |

All the things mentioned in the last post were checked on this end, because he purchased a full custom kit from me..
I am with you on the rich running, thats the first thing that will cause this because it actually takes the oil from the rings. Fuel is a solvent, not a lubricant. It almost looks like the excess fuel increased friction, scuffed the cylinders a tad and helped wipe out the rings.... I bet the ring gap is excessive now, thats why I want to see them. |
