(motor doesn't smoke on start up, takes about 5 minutes to start smoking). They were crack tested too. If the rings can be eliminated, 30 miles per qt is a major leak into the cylinder where some mechanics feel that much oil couldn't go by the guides that fast on new-tight ones. Even if we had bad intake gaskets, that's alot of oil to get by. (and the motor wouldn't run as good as it does). I know it can't be the fuel pump, but again I have nothing to loose try it. To me this problem makes no sense. You would of thought we would of ran across the problem on first tear down or the tests we've done. Also multiple mechanics analysing this with me. One would think someone would of said, hey that's your problem, but it seems to baffle some on that kind of oil consumption. Later
I haven't been following the thread so I don't know if this will do you anygood. I had a fuel pump squirt oil out of it on high rev only. I couldn't figure out where my oil was going or coming from. With the hood open and the engine at low rpm nothing happened. Couldn't find my oil leak till I jumped someones battery off when I hooked up the cables and brought my rpm's up oil squirted out in two lil streams. The higher the rev the more oil. Get the R's low no oil.
