That is my post...I have just over 1700 miles on mine. Spoke to Ford tech (Marty) two days ago, he told me to:
1) Check torque on intake bolts-confirm 18 ft lbs-done a few were 16/17 but not the consumption issue I seriously doubt.
2) Block off PCV valve-done
Topped off with
oil to the top line @ 1713 miles and now I am monitoring
oil consumption. I burnt about 2/3 Qt in approx 400 miles and started noticing smoke at start up hot or cold.
We will see...I believe 68Pony was given the same directive from Ford to no avail, I am hoping for the best. I have seen indications that Ford is being responsive to the issue of late on engines where the problem exists. I think valve seals were the fix for 68Pony.
