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) |

That was a full kit of mine.
As for too many mods at once- Not a chance internally... I would have ran carbs for a bit before doing the EFI install though. As for the heads, they were prepped for Dave by Len Hoffman and passed my checks for approval. .0012 stem to guide clearance but no valve stem seals. (stem seals alter oiling on aircooled engines and we don't run them unless the valves are DLC coated, or made from Titanium) I just looked up dave's ring gaps here.. They were .015 on the second ring and .016 That is text book for his combo. There was nothing odd with this set up, nothing first time, nothing crazy... I think the fuel got it. |
