Hello Guys
I must admit to not measuring the play in the valve guides but sure I would have noticed excessive play when grinding the valves.
The engine is sealed very well and never leaves a single drop when parked.
On a recent run it used about a pint for 100 miles.
Like Bob I was unsure if it was possible for valve guides to account for this much oil usage.
It will not be a problem to whip the head off but I just wanted to know if there were any specific tests to carry out while it was running.
I have guides and new valves ready to put in. Can this be easily done in situ?
I can only assume if the guides are ok that the split skirt pistons or rings are at fault.
I may have to bite the bullet and pull the engine again.
Adrian.
