Subject: | Increasing TR6 oil usage after rocker oil feed modification |

Recently I installed an external rocker assembly oil feed line on my 1972 TR6 engine, after which oil consumption increased considerably. Before the modification the engine used hardly any oil, now the level is dropping steadily. Also after starting a still warm engine some blue smoke comes out of the exhaust. I guess the oil is disappearing via the valve stems. I checked for leaks: no problems at the connections. Does anybody have similar experiences? I've never seen the internals of the engine: can somebody explain why this could happen? Anne van Leeuwen anne.van.leeuwen@vitatron.com |
