...not the one on the pan. Here is my info:
1991 5.0 LX AOD
SUPPOSEDLY rebuilt to 306
SUPPOSED E303 cam (sounds stock to me)
BBK CAI
75mm MAF (cal'ed to stock injectors)
65mm throttle body
TFS Street Burner intake (why?)
Stock heads
Stock headers
2.5" o/r X-pipe
Flowmaster 2 chambers, dumps
Here is my symptoms:
I do drive it a lot, but I'm going through 2 qts every 2 weeks. No leaks, it is getting burned. Not through the valve guides (no smoke on cold starts). I don't drop the hammer often, but when I do, I leave a faint blue cloud behind me. People have said they could smell oil. When I exit a freeway after cruising at 2500-3000 RPMs (4.10 gears), I can smell oil for a mile. So one would think rings, or shoddy machining (if it really was rebuilt), right?
So I did a compression check. They all looked good. I did a leak down test. Results were better than most new engines. The rings appear to be making good seals.
I shotgunned the PCV, no help. How can oil be getting burned, if it's not the valve guides, nor the rings, nor the PCV?
Any ideas? I'm really stumped. Thanks in advance!
