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) |

BTW...I'm no expert [yet] but shouldn't the plugs be checked a few times durring break in just to gauge air/fuel mix, etc? That's what I have been doing ever since working thru carb issues on my GT6. I had some fun with "color tune" . It was pretty cool.
