...how much longer do you think I will have?
Backround:
The motor always has given off a little smoke when getting on it, but it's gotten much worse. Just as it crosses the 150K mile mark. It's been going through more oil than ever, suddenly doubled, needs about a quart about every 1,000 miles. Today while warming up, I noticed just a little comming out of the exaust. My buddy told me it put out a lot more smoke when I was getting on it. Otherwise it is running strong, doesn't feel worn out, but it's time is comming. I am going to swich from Mobil 1 Synthetic 5W30 to maby some SAE 30 or some 10W40 dino oil, but this is a simple fix to a increasingly worse problem.
I guess I will start saving for a new engine. Maby I wil be able to throw in a 347 or 331, but most likley a 306 because of funds. My OEM T-5 is also showing it's age. All this crap happens at once. But once I fix this, I will have cleared a big obstical.
I am guessing I have between 10 miles to 10 years when the engine gives out.
