Re: LOWERING Oil Pressure... What Oil To Run? Additives? Temporary Fix Need Help
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 
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.
