My '92 f350, 7.3 non turbo about 250,000 miles on it, eats oil like crazy, it has since I got it and it's getting worse . It goes through a qt or two everytime I go anywhere.
It starts right up no problem and has plenty of power. Blowby doesn't seem excessive ( I did the oil cap off check, steady light tea kettle like smoke at idle, dissappears above about 1800rpm ) CDR and tube are new. No strange noises or funny behaviors. Steady oil smoke out the exhaust pipe while driving ( none at idle )
I just ran the compression ( not exactly hot, but mildly warm, it only gets up to about 145 when fully warmed up and that takes a while of driving, I fired it up till the idle kicked down and ran it a few miles around the block before tearing into it )
#1) 410
#3) 420
#5) 405
#7) 305
#2) 400
#4) 405
#6) 380
#8) 305
Aside from the two back holes being a tad out of range for difference between cylinder, Does this look like anything that could be causing that much oil consumtion, or am I more likely needing a new set of valve stem seals or just go ahead and get the heads done with new guides?
Thanks---------Robert
