I've got a couple of different mechanincs telling me two different things and I'm just trying to get to the bottom of the problem. If anyone has any advice I'll gladly take it.
I just had my engine rebuilt no less than 800 miles ago. It's a 200 bored over, bigger cam, adjustable rocker arm, OZ 2V 250 head, you get the picture. I drove it here and there over the last two years but not very far or much becasue it kept overheating. Finally put a new radiator in it and solved that problem. Now that I can get it out on the road and go I am burning a quart of oil every 60 miles or so. I know new engines will burn until the rings seat, but not that much right?. It's also throwing oil out of the dipstick tube onto the side of the block and fuel pump. The mechanic that did the rebuild says it's not blowby coming out the dipstick tube and the rings are fine. He feels it's just vapor and that maybe the crank it just thowing it out. Another mechanic says the vapor and oil coming out is blowby and that my rings are bad already or they aren't seated and might not ever seat. Anyone wanna take a stab at this......
