Just wanted to say that i think I've set the world record for oil burning. 1.5 quarts per tank of gas. thats burning, it doesn't leak any oil. Anybody else got me beat? I know its not coming through the heads because we had those rebuilt.... starting to piece together my 350....

 

4.3 in my 4x4 chevy truck took a quart every 80 miles before i rebuilt it

 

had a truck that burned 1 every 20. had to carry a gallon with me. looked like i was fogging for mosquitos!

 

Check your intake gasket, on my 302 Stang that happened, my Dad used a cheap gasket and it was burning oil big time. He learned his lesson and bought a Fel Pro one.

 

1988 Monte Carlo SS...480 lift crane cam...83k miles....5 quarts a week @ its finest...

 

all engines burn oil.some more due to wear or new piston rings didnt seal yet.

 

My first car had you beat by a long shot, a 74 Chevy VEGA GT with the aluminum block and no cast iron cylinder liners for the piston rings to run against, who's bright idea was this This engine had 80,000 miles on it and would go through at least 2 quarts per tank, I had to run anti-foulers on the plugs just to keep it running, I solved the problem by swaping in a 327 4-speed

 

I put in a tank of gas a week.

I was dry on oil by the end of the week.
