Well just my 2 cents. I have a 427 side oiler that has been taken apart and checked 3 times now and I go through
oil like a knife through butter. 1 litre about every 100 miles...why? I have no idea. doesnt seem to burn much (maybe a little) heads had brand new guides put in ...new valve seals and the motor runs champ. If a guy goes through a pile of
oil but doesnt really see the motor burning it where the heck is it going? or is it burnin it so well a guy doesnt really notice...I cant seem to figure it out so I have just been adding as I need....could adding too much
oil cause a motor to burn it? My oil pressure and everything else has been perfect. Reason I ask is that someone who had the car prior used a dipstick that he parked after the new oil pan was installed. (maybe its marked wrong)?
PS I do leak a tad ....dont they all?
