burning oil, only off camber?
so the last coulple time i've gone wheelin i have been burning oil on the trail. it seems to only happen after being off camberfor a while and then leveling out or at the end of the trail.
i've been told something about walve seals and also that i might have bad rings. any help is appreciated im ok with mechanics but still learning
thanks

when i got my 1st gen p/u it smoked white and the guy i got it from told me the engine was recently rebuilt. i thought yah yah hes just pullin my leg but when i pulled the valve cover you could eat off of it, no joke lol. Come to find out they used crappy valve seals. luckily i was able to pull do it with out pulling the head. but if its blue smoke you need new rings.....

so. compression test results are as follows
#1-175psi
#2-160psi
#3-175psi
#4-175psi
i might have bumped the release valve on the second one. was gonna re-do it but it started raining. these results are also dry. didnt do a wet test yet.

My old 4runner did the same thing last time I took it out. I have since sold the truck but kept the engine for a new project.
Keep us posted on what you find out.
