ZOOM THIS, what do you mean by "a rebuild" ? check the rings and if needed replace them ? Do you think I need to replace too the rods and the main bearings ?
I did a complete rebuild of my motor since I was so pissed about only getting 6k miles on a motor that burned copious amounts of
oil since it was built. Rings, pistons, new block, heads rebuilt, etc done. You'll need to check the bores of all cylinders for exact roundness if you change rings. Some of my cylinders in the old block were out of round. Just another layer of bad engine work the first time. I gotta say that I find it hard to understand how Chevrolet, Ford, Toyota etc. can get
oil consumption under control 10k times out of 10k times and so many after-market motors struggle with heavy
oil consumption.
