Hello.
Sorry for my bad english My 7afe have been smoking blue smoke for some time now.. and the smell of oil is present almost all time (USE ALOT OF OIL!)... It smokes never when idle, only when i give it some trotle. i have been thinking it may be the Valve seals, but it might be the piston rings aswell... what is your opinion? |

is burning a Quart per 1000 miles really within tolerance? that's like 3 quarts per oil change. I lose 2 quarts per oil change, a little into the coolant, a little down the back of the head, not bad enough to leave spots in the driveway and doesn't smoke.

Yep, actually up to a quart every 1,500 miles is. Pretty much anything they can do to minimize warranty work. Then you have Wankels that burn by design. -------------------- 2001 Miata LS 5-speed
