I had same problem......sort of....
By John - 08/07/2005 9:01:50 PM; IP 142.177.103.154
1/ Oil overpowering heads......can't drain back fast enough...gets sucked down exhaust valves........switch to 15W50 synthetic for a start. (I think this is why the driver's side suffers more.....isn't the driver's side cyl head the one that gets top end oil first?) Anyway, oil restrictor mods are easy without tearing the engine apart again.

2/ Rings not seated yet...takes about 1000 to 2000 miles....sometims more.

3/ Engine leaks oil.....I am meticulous with rebuliding engines, yet every FE I've done, leaks oil. I'm not even sure from where.....LOL.
This thread, so far...
