losing a little oil after HG work
The old head had alot wrong with it, so the lower end is now experience new-engine compression, and I think that is what's causing me to lose oil. Every 500 miles or so it's about a quart low. No drips, ever, can't see it burning or smell it, but I have been told that my exhaust has the slightest blue haze to it.
Sound like the rings are just worn out? This is a 210k mile engine.
I think I'm just gonna hold out another 6 months till I can do a rebuild. Has anyone had luck with some STP stuff or something to reduce oil consumption?

Sure, it's modern day snake oil. You can even fix a flat by rubbing some of it into the bad tire... !
Just kidding... The folks that believe in it swear by it. Myself I haven't tried it but probably will eventually.
