Now Tim's 428 consumes a quart every 200 miles, but doesn't LEAK, or burn (No Smoke) it and yes we don't know where it going (Rings?) ??? Cheers TommyRot.
Damn leaks. I got the valve covers sealed up good (I’m an expert at that now) but after a couple hundred miles I still find a little oil mist deposited on the oil pan and bell housing and a few drops on the frame rails. Who knows where it’s coming from. I have checked the oil pan bolts and they are snug. Maybe the timing cover...will check it this weekend. It runs so good I can’t complain....
