Re: Drinking Problem
Good choice, attempt to find the cause, at least get baseline data. then make an educated move. Don't change anything until your'e somewhat sure which way to go. When you do make a change only do one thing at a time. its all about divide and conquer or eliminate the possibilities.

Re: Drinking Problem
I had an engine drinking oil but excellent compression. Pulled a piston, the oil control ring was stuck tight. The compression ring groves were clean the rings were free. All four pistons had stuck oil rings. Evidence of lots of blowby on the valve guides. I think the soot from the blowby gummed up the oil rings.

Re: Drinking Problem

Re: Drinking Problem
Years ago I had an A engine that drank oil like that. When I finally pulled it apart I found it had a Gudgeon Pin score down the side of one of the cylinders. Happy Motoring.

Re: Drinking Problem
About 10 years ago I bought a perfect running Model A engine with no blowby, and no smoke. When I removed the head I found all 4 cylinders had wrist pin grooves on both ends. Sure would have expected lots of smoke and blowby for all those 8 deep grooves.
