Re: oil consumption

the motor is fairly new. it only has 30000 miles on and the heads were brand new s/r heads (completely new but doesnt mean that they could be leaking). The engine is acutally brand new from oilpan to carb. the truck is my daily driver and i drive it on long and short trips. i have about 600 plus miles on it since christmas. every thing seems to be tight on gasket wise. i also used a bead of silicone on the intake ends. there are also no leaks where i park. the truck runs extremely strong and shows no sign of being worn out. ill look into the pcv valve.
