I blame the convertible top. Lol
I couldn't imagine that feeling with it STILL burning oil.
So what caused the oil consumption? The cylinder walls were not sealing with the rings?

Top goes up and down. No problem there.
Machine work seemed to be the cause the first time around. This time, not entirely sure. Some say fuel wash, others blame the ring style but regardless there is a sealing issue so changing things around to a more conventional arrangement should correct the problem.

Thanks! Been meaning to post the details but it's been a bit busy (same for everyone!). I spoke with Karl on my way in to work this morning. He was headed to the machinist today to discuss the work needed for the block. He will also be calling Diamond to get the pistons figured out as well. We are a bit undecided on the rod choice. We originally were considering a 5.85 rod mimicking some of his other boosted builds but a 6.0 may be ideal too. Decisions, decisions.

Time for an update.
It appears we have found the smoking gun regarding the persistent oil consumption. Karl sent the heads to a different shop to get looked over, cleaned up and to install the new Manley valve springs I picked up. The consensus is that the valve seals installed in the first rebuild had come loose and were riding the valve, effectively PUMPING oil into the cylinders. The rings may have been fine. Even though the oil consumption symptoms were very similar, it's tough to say if this was an issue with the original build. The heads were gone through on the first rebuild and nothing was mentioned as being out of the ordinary (besides tell tale signs of valve float).
So here is where things stand:
- New Diamond custom forged pistons ordered, 2618 material, double diamond coating, H13 pin, machined ring area after coating. These should arrive the first week of November.
- New Callies 5.85" forged rods
- New Total Seal conventional style rings in hand
- New Crower link bar lifters
- Block work is done. Just needed a hone.
- New King bearings will be installed all around.
- Heads have new Manley springs setup to avoid any future valve float
Website has been updated.

The work that has gone into this project could fill a HOT ROD issue from front to back cover. I don't understand 3/4 of what you guys talk about and can only imagine what the total COIN must be. You are one lucky guy to have Gina giving you support on this. By now, I would have been living under a rock with a pair of HD ear plugs ![Laughing](http://www.njfboa.org/forums/images/smilies/icon_lol.gif) !

Sanity and rational thinking are out the window with any of this. Gina is never shy about her thoughts on all this. She does like to go fast though.
