i've advertised in the wanted section for a new engine but not sure if i actually need one, as i don't know how damaged mine is. i had a compression test and they all read 220 which is about rite apparently. correct me if i'm wrong. but my problem is that it goes through 5 litres of oil in about 200 miles sometimes less. it isn't leaking. but my engine is burning the oil and it shoots it out in a cloud of soot and it sticks to the rear of my car. i've been tol it could still be piston rings, valve stem oil seals or just the breather section in the engine (which i don't have a clue about) could be blocked. can anyone provide me with anything more? has this happened to them?? i'm at a loose end it does better mpg to petrol than to oil lol
