RE: Oil Burning 390. Help!!

I've had the same problem of excessive oil consumption. Without a doubt it is caused by too much oil to the heads and oil being sucked past the valve seals. Even new seals will leak if exesssive oil gets to the heads. Install restrictors in heads and ensure drip trays are installed. A compression check should reveal good compresion on your newly rebuilt engine, so the only place the oil can enter, if it's not past the rings, is down the valve guides or from the intake as you suspect. If the intake isn't leaking anti-freeze, then it shouldn't be leaking oil either. So Voila!, must be down the valve guides.
This thread, so far...
