Im putting in some 5W-20 right now, then maybe some of that stop smoke additive I seen at the store today

Aparently its my valve seals

Anyone have a preferred brand of additive to grab for make these valve seals swell up?

Oil stabilizer? Didnt sound appealing, what does it do?

I got the 5w-20 (---- is that ---- ever like water) and the thermo in now, havent driven it yet. Going to the store @ 8 or so when it opens to grab a fuel filter and some sort of oil additive

Not that i know of oil pressure has anything to do with oil getting pass the rings :l oil are splashed on to the cylinder wall then gets SCRAPPED down by the control rings. even if u lower it to 5 psi as long as the wall is getting oil it will still burn oil when the rings are bad.

Use thicker oil will help a lot, try 10w-40, when my car was burning oil I tried some 20W-50 Mobile 1 and the smoke completely stopped.
I`ve also seen a few guy on H-T experiencing the same problem ONLY with certain brand of oil.


FYI i`ve treid that lucas ---- on nurmous car and let me tell you it does NOT work when ur burning mad oil LOL. don`t wast your money.
oh and how hard it is to change the valve seals anyway, doesn`t take u too much time, change all the seals to pinpoint the problem.
