Re: What kind of oil consumption are u experiencing?
No additives, I did run the Joe Gibbs break in oil when I first put it back together, and ran that for about 600 miles before the change. So as you know, there would be a little left in the cooler.

1/2 qt. Every 1500 miles. I change it annually or 3000 miles including filter, whichever comes first. These days it?s annually with Amsoil AMOQT - Synthetic 10W40 High Zinc Oil

Re: What kind of oil consumption are u experiencing?
Since doing the injector housing gaskets, my oil consumption along with an occasional puff of blue smoke has pretty much ceased. Also, the mysterious disappearance of coolant in the overflow bottle has also ceased...

Re: What kind of oil consumption are u experiencing?
Well I need to recheck now that Pete took care of TWO oil leaks I had. One from the oil pump access cover, and another from the O ring of the chain guide tensioner.
