pull the plugs and look at them, are they covered in oil?

what oil ring package did you use?

my guess would be valve guides and or oil rings, as compression rings dont really apply to oil control

 

[indy2000]

oil rings

out of spec GUIDES, no stem seal is going to help

 

[indy2000]

valve guides

valve springs gotta come off, and wiggle

 

[indy2000]

Aside from the obvious oil being burnt, what other issues burning this much oil could cause?

gumming up intake/exhaust valves, and tops of pistons

eventual misfires, 02 sensor contamination

 

[indy2000]

pull the lower

stick a boroscope into runner and look at top of valve, caked oil, your valve guides are out of spec, or you sucking in oil from the intake tract.

 

[indy2000]

look into cylinder as well

 

[indy2000]

valve guides with excessive clearance, will not be seen in the runners

 

[indy2000]

oh yes very easily.

 

[indy2000]

oil on top of piston, and spark plug as you have seen

exhaust runner will have a coating of oil

 

[indy2000]

where there is smoke.............

sure
