from reading stuff on net about this, and looking in the trusty haynes manual, it was saying that for it to be burning oil, the spark plug should show signs of oily deposits on it, but it didnt when i checked it today. could it be possible for not all of the cylinders to be burning, and so the plug i checked be ok cos that cylinder isnt burning oil. apparently my engine was only rebuilt about 8k miles ago, surely the rings cant have gone in that short time?? | |

No, if you do a compression test and take note of the pressure, then pour a little oil into the cylinder and do another compression test and you get a higher pressure reading then your piston rings need replacing :) | |

i know what it could be, i just want to know if there'e any way of knowing what it is before taking it off the road and taking the engine to bits, dont want to do anything unnecessary | |
