right now im burning around 1-2 qts every 2-3 weeks. which is right around 800-1200 miles. i get a huge puff of smoke on startup, but never really see any when i get on it or anything like that. but im sure its there and i just cant see it. the motor was been rebuilt last summer, has right around 15-20k miles on it. im pretty sure its not the seals or anything like that. but i could be wrong. now ive been told that it has something to do with my PCV system and to plug the nipple at the valve cover. im not touching anything till i get some conformation on this.
now the reason i was told it was the PCV was because im running an explorer intake, and fox body covers, with no baffle. when i pull my upper off, there is oil in between the intakes, more than id like to see too.
ive also heard that 5.0's are supposed to use about a qt every 1k, but im losing it way too quick here. like i added a qt not this past friday, but the friday before, and yesterday the motor was making some nice chatter. pull the stick and i was 2 qts low. id like to get something solved or at least slowed down. thanx for any help
