Burning oil only on the highway

A gallon of Lucas? Mise well fill that engine with gear oil lol. When you have to do that, time for a rebuild.

Yeah no joke might as well try that wvo before putting in another motor. He was using rotella with it to. Still going to try every oil to keep it going as long as possible

Eh... I did that before. Put the front and rear main seals in backwards in a "temporary" motor that I'm sure needs a rebuild - it had a really bad knock as well.
After losing two quarts of oil in 50 miles, I just added lucas to replace the oil. Ended up adding a full gallon, then added oil and some lucas as it leaked out.

It got me 1,000 miles round trip, and kept running for the next 4 months until I replaced it with my rebuilt original motor.

I forget what I needed to take off that motor, but I'll say this: Everything in it was well covered in a film of sticky oil.
(Note: it's still sitting in the barn, waiting for me to get around to rebuilding it)
