Reply to "500 BHP 351 Cleveland"

I am running a stroker, but only a 3.7 inch stroker. Still the wrist pin is pretty close to the oil ring. The pistons are wiesco and are the narrow low tension type. I do have some oil consumption after 15000 hard miles but expect it due to the narrow rings. I have also had some rich fuel conditions which may have contributed. No real blue smoke or oil on the back of the car. I go throug about a quart after about 3 hours on the highway but the oil consumption reduces after it gets a quart low to about a quart every 5 hours.

I do have turbos and this puts an extreme load on the engine. I believe some of my oil consumption is from the turbo inlet seals.

BTW, I am at about 600HP at 4000 rpm right now. Hope for more once my crank trigger problem is figured out.
