When I start my car in the morning, it runs on 3 cyls for a while and burns a-lot of oil until it warms up.
Has anyone had this exact problem.
Here is what I know!
- compression is OK...145PSI in all cyls across the board...so the rings are good and so is the head gasket
- new wires
- new plugs
- new cap and rotor
Do you think its a distributor problem causing the engine to run on three cyls ???
I think...cause i can hear a backfire when its going on 3 cyls...that there IS spark there. AND because I'm leaking oil but not from the block...it must be comming from the head!
SO....what I think is there is an exhaust valve that sticks open causing the engine to run on 3 cyls when its cold and the valve stem seal is fawked causing oil to drip down from the head and pool in the bowl of the port!
ANY comments and suggestions would be appreciated!
