hmm... well basically I have to go to Jiffy lub and top off my oil every now and then. The oil light comes on after 1500 miles or so. I think it is just burning oil since there is no visible leakage. Anybody having the same problem? I use a high grade synthetic.

Man u've to look at the reality....IF you're lucky (but once seen the amount of oil consuption I don't think u are
 ) it could be the valves stems seals...Anyway at 99% your rings are finally gone after all those miles and it's time to replace them. In a high milleage engine I think it won't be possible to replace just rings cuz of the cylinders ovalization, but the machine shop will value that. If not possible you need to get cylinders bored to at least 82mm (stock is 81mm) and replace pistons with oversized set with rings.... Anyway since the engine will be opened u can always make some "works"  Good luck |
