List,
may I ask those of you who will care to reply: How much engine oil does your
TR6 consume and how frequently? I ask because, my TR6 has around 2000 (two
thousand) miles on its rebuilt motor, but from the minute I got it back from
the shop that rebuilt it, it consumed a fair amount of oil. For instance:
at the start of a 500 mile round trip to St Petersberg, I popped the bonnet
and topped off all fluids. Upon my return, (those of might remember I
couldn't get the car started 20 miles from home, but that's for posterity)
and checking the fluids, I was exactly one quart low on oil. External leaks:
one small one, I think from the timing chain cover, but looks like nothing
substantial. Plugs: a light coating of oil around the threads, but the
electrodes themselves are a lovely light nut brown and dry. Smoke: none on
startup, and none whilst driving. Should I be concerned?
Thanks and Regards
Geoff Parker
