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) |

jwalters,
Call me out if you want but there aren't many times I get scolded for trying to do the job right. Sure there may be other ways to do this simpler, but they require Dave having to wonder again when he gets the thing put back together . What I was trying to say is that the parts are coming back here, then they are going to Charles and then they are going to the platers- Period. This is the first time this has happened, and it will not go without solid reasoning and a full diagnosis on what happened. Every time I build something that fails I look until I find the issue, no matter what it takes. If not it could come back to haunt me again later and that always cost time and some puked up blood from a bleeding ulcer. I wasn't saying the guy that showed you that was wrong, I was simply saying that it won't be happening to these parts- period. They will be going back to their birthplace for observation by the experts that plated them. BTW, I run 4 quarts of oil as a standard in my cars and engines that are on the dyno, it won't do weird things till you dump in atleast 5.5 quarts and rev the piss out of it. |
