So your building it or its built and in the car running?You tourqued the head down to 110ftlbs?

Re: i need help!!
 

i build it, and i just want to know if its suppost to burn that much oil

Re: i need help!!
 

No it should not be.Do a compression test and report back.

Re: i need help!!
 

i checked the compression and its not droping or anything

Re: i need help!!
 

110 ft pounds is kinda high if i didnt know any better id say youve stripped something :-\

Re: i need help!!
 

110 ft/lbs is definitely too high..... and why would you buy arp head bolts? i'm sure you meant head studs.

did you put this all together yourself? did you have the cylinders re-honed? did you do that yourself? more info is needed in order to help you.

Re: i need help!!
 

i took the block to machine shop and have them hone it down, yea arp head studs. i just bought a oem head gasket so i'm try that out

Re: i need help!!
 

describe the oil problem. Is it burning it? How bad, exactly what color? All the time? Did you check all the tolerances (plastigage) in the engine?
