Thread: oiling issue... where is it going

98 gtp 154k i just changed oil about two weeks ago..... and last week i checked stick.. down to 1 quart... on my boost guage and torque app vac is at 0.7 and full throttle 1.4 no more... the car is smoking like a train when on throttle hard.. or just to pass someone... sparkplugs has oil coat over them mainly on threads.. and tips are all black... ive changed valve stem seals... im changing the pcv tonight and will grab a compression tester......

if the pcv is clear do the compression test. worst case is blown rings. aka time for a another used block, and i know you dont want to hear that.

both sound low.

up around 180 iirc.

My compression was at 180 on all cylinders on my car when i checked a few weeks ago. I need to swap my valve seals on my car though.

so with these two being that low.. what you all think.... just get a new block..

that's what I'd do.

i found a used block on carpart.com... they classed it as grade a.... its a l26 block.. typo ^^^^^^^ but..... they only want 75 but i gotta buy a cam install kit to swap cams into new block

thats a killer deal.

i just dont have the space or resources to do it.... hell barely have time.. with this extra shift at work with no one to cover.... im only getting one day off a week.... i need it done tho.. asap... f#ck man

another thought.. could it be failing head gaskets?

you would be loosing coolant if the head gasket was bad.

humm.. temp has been rising a little quicker lately... hold on ill chekc it

also now that i think about it... yesterday when i was checking compression.... the block and heads were still hot as hell... after sitting for two hours..... but headers were cold as ice....
