Re: oil consumption

If your intake manifold gasket has just created a small leak (between the lifter valley and one of your intake ports, the oil consumption will be up and the motor will appear to be running normal and clean. I have a buddy that has been fighting this on his Corvette motor for a couple of years, since his last rebuild and we just found that the gasket had not sealed in one place. He would use a quart every 500 miles.
