Reply to "Excessive oil consumption"

I'd look at something simpler LIKE the way that you have the PCV connected.

It is VERY easy to get them to siphon oil out of the valve covers and into the intake manifold.

I went to an oil skimmer.

Recently I noticed a vintage picture of a GT40 that although it had an open breather system, the breather was installed on top of a tank that was being used as an oil skimmer.

I've had the issue on my 68 GT350 and thirty five years ago on a Ford Granada with a 302.

Trust me "Herb", these things suck in oil through the pcv system.

Tie that to a pcv valve that can at best be described as a POS.

I'd look there before I started tearing this thing apart.


I'm not going to argue about strokers having strange ring land locations.

I have a 347, stroked from 302, in my GT350. The ring lands overlap the piston pin.

I do not have anywhere near excessive oil consumption with it.

I don't think that you should automatically assume that is what the problem is.

These strokers have been on the road for easily 10 years now and for the most part are not a problem.

Of course if you want to use it in a taxi cab, it could not be exactly what you want? Wink
