Default Thanks Dark...

I have had an oil consumption problem for a long time. Number 5 in particular. It fouls right away. The motor only has 20 k on it an I am thinking it could at least be this crappy fitting GT-40.

I have tried 1262's and 1250's probably 6 times over 18 month period.
I have also used grey rtv around the front and rear water jacket ports on both sides of the gaskets and the ports of number 1 and 5. Number 5 still fouls, almost immediatley.

It has great compression, and I just don't think it is a cracked ring. I just don't want to believe it is more like, b/c I don't want to pull the motor.

I got a set of 1262's and am thinking about getting a TFS intake just to see if that solves my issue.

Oh yeah, how much silicone did you put on? I only put a thin layer, i.e. 1/16th-1/8" around the ports. Thanks.
