Would it be worth it to fix this problem? Or should I just save for the bigger block I wanted to toss in(351)</P>


the engine has around 90-100k miles on it already but, I was wondering if I should just go ahead and MOD it and fix my oil problem, or should just go with a new engine. I dont have the money all together just yet but once i get my taxes done for this year i should have enough for the block. But nothing else really, so i'd be purchasing crap throughout the year for it. How much does it cost to fix this? Don't you just need to have the piston rings replaced or something? And I doubt I would be doing this myself but either cost range is fine with me just want to know what I'm looking at here. But I do have someone that COULD help me with it if I asked. So... suggestions?</P>

need more info on how its burning......Blue smoke- (when, under what condition) how much oil in terms of miles (ex. 1qt every 3000 miles)

Obsol3te

id say 1 qt every... 1 1/2 - 2 weeks which averages about 360-480 miles</P>


doesnt leave a puddle under the car, leaves marks on the driveway n such when warming up where the exhaust comes out. no blue smoke or anything tho</P><edited><editID>Obsol3te</editID><editDate>37998.7988310185</editDate></edited>

are you sure those marks from the exhaust are oil or just carbon that came out with the moisture which is normal when warming up...if you were "burning" that much and it was coming out your exhaust you'd be hella smokin'

Obsol3te

well its not leaving marks under the front of the car or anything, but thats what i was told that it was from the burning oil. and my stepfather had said he could SMELL it too?

Black Horse

what year/model is is?

Obsol3te

92 gt

its hard to say cause if you're burning that much you'd be smoking bad, so obviously its going somewhere else....do you have any mods done?</P>

Obsol3te

not that i know of because i bought the car how it is now. and im almost positive thats all he did to it,</P>


what couldve been done to it to make it burn oil so fast?</P>

Obsol3te

oh, its got a 75 shot of nos as well but hasnt been used yet (by me) but i KNOW hes used it, and he said everything was set up to handle it effectively, so he probably switched what he had for that?</P>
