Default Re: 1950 8BA Oil Gusher

run some marvel mystery oil in engine oil and run 20W50 non synthetic oil. I would bet that the oil rings are stuck and this is causing the oil consumption. also run the engine until warm, without cap, and then fill to the bottom of neck, as stated they will blow out if filled cold and also will blow out more than just to the full mark. I would also run some MMO in the gas tank. drive it around and get it hot. also avoid the copper head gaskets, use BEST composit gaskets and remember to retorque after the first heat up. also check head for warpage if it blew a head gasket
