speeder Posted June 26, 2004 Share Posted June 26, 2004 Ive been trying to figure out which way to go with my smoking/ Oil consumptiom problem with my new motor: http://hybridz.org/nuke/index.php?name=PNphpBB2&file=viewtopic&t=34487 (scroll down to my latest post talking about symptoms) and hope that some resident diagnostic experts can chime in. Engine is a 3.0 liter L, Total Seal Gapless rings on Venolia Forged Turbo pistons, block torque plate bored, New Ferrea Stainless valves in new bronze exhaust guides and stock intake guides that the trusted machine shop tested as being not worn enough to replace. I strongly suspect the Ford valve stem seals used to rebuild the head, but the symptoms don't lead my limited troubleshooting skills toward a definite suspect. Thanks for any help/suggestions- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drax240z Posted June 26, 2004 Share Posted June 26, 2004 Well we've got a 3.1L now with these valve seals as well... that makes 2 here that we can moniter. The 3.1L should be able to sway the balance yay or nay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad-ManQ45 Posted June 26, 2004 Share Posted June 26, 2004 If you do a compression test on each cylinder, then do it again adding a tsp of oil to each cylinder through the spark plug hole abd the compression doesn't raise appreciably, then it is your stems/guides.
