Hey,
After changing my oil just 2000kms ago (first change since rebuild), i checked the oil level yesterday.. and its down to the "low" already.. Is amount of consumption normal? my motor is completly standard |
It should consume a quart every 1500 miles or so once properly broken in. When freshly rebuilt I think it consumes more but Im not sure on the exact amount. Im sure someone around here will know.
|
With a leaky oil cooler line right now, I lose about a quart every 300-400miles....the leak isn't THAT bad, some of that is consumption...its a newer SP engine with ruffly 7500 miles on it. Before this motor, my other had 160xxx miles and it didnt burn a drop...so you never know.

if you have the metering pump wired open, it will burn more oil than normal.
|
My oil cooler lines seap a bit too. I plan to replace the copper washers next time I change the oil.

seems to be a little much to burn on a rebuild. maybe the metering pump
|
no OMP, block off plate on mine. On my old motor I was running stock OMP, it ate up a little..but you
hardly noticed it..nothing like my new engine...I'm pulling it apart again here soon anyway.. mild streetport sucks! Heavy is next... https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png |
Oh yea, and if the cooler leaks..or the lines...its really messy..can't miss it. my lines are covered in oil..and they dont even leak THAT bad!
|
replacing oil cooler and oil cooler lines would cost about how much?
