oil burner 57 chevy
High ya all. Sorry I haven't been on the site for a long time. ALL of you were very nice and helpful! The problem is fixed, but we will never know what it was. Let me recap as simple as possible. Rebuilt motor, totally stock, 3 times. Multiple machinists and mechanics looked at it before the motor went back together, all three times. All 3 times the motor did the same thing, burn
massive amount of oil. Every person on this site covered every possibility that might cause this, so we did listen to every one of you and went through everything to make sure it was right. (and things that don't sound like it would be the cause. On the 4th rebuild, we took it to a shop that has some of the best equipment in our area, such as the honing machine used diamond cutting stones. This company even asked each other why this guy needs this engine rebuilt, everything checks out! So they rebuilt it for us and guess what, it did the same thing for about 5-10 minutes, maybe 15, and out of the blue it stopped smoking and using oil! 4500 miles later it is still totally fine! They even used the same make of piston and rings we used! I'll never understand this one. Things happen, but this one is for my book of wierd one's that happen to us now and then. Again, thanks to all of you for the help. It is appreciated. Don't have no current projects going on right now. I'll check the site more and see if I can throw my two cents worth in on something others may be dealing with. All for now
