ok first off i have searched and have done a few things but still cant figure it out. ok i have an oil leak where the head and the timing cover are and the rear main seal. also i seem to be burning oil. if i rev to over 3000 i see some blue smoke so my question is should i rubuild or just fix the leaks? one more thing i have 32's and cant seem to run much over 55 on the speedo.

here are some of the things i have done so far:
new plugs
new wires
new dist cap
new rotor button
new oil pump
new TPS (maybe not adjusted rite)

thanks in advance for the help

 

I'm by no means an expert, but seems like the burning oil may be from the rings.
And as for the 32's you will have to regear or get smaller tires

 

so if i have to replace the rings than should i just go through the whole motor?

 

may as well...of course make sure it is the rings.

 

this might be a dumb question but how can you tell if its the rings?

 

do a compression test. put a little oil in the spark plug holes, and do another compression test. if the compression goes up the rings are blowing by.

do some searching for info on the oil leaks...

 

i will have to try the compression test.
yea i have done a lot of oil leak searches. maybe its the valve seats the truck only has 147K on it and it was sitting for a couple of years.

 

i think this is why the truck seems so weak



looks like its not firing
