Engine using a gallon of oil a week
« on: 11 September 2013, 23:05:57 »
Recently rebuilt top end due to cambelt failure and after fixing other issues it now going through a gallon of oil a week.No leaks.Engine fine when cold but when it gets to 80c exhaust smokes badly mainly after overrun phase and is embarrassing when setting off,any ideas guys?

Valve stem oil seals possibly  :-\ Although a gallon of oil seems excessive ..
