I had engine run-on issues prior to my restoration project, so while the engine
was on the stand, I pulled the head to look for carbon deposits on top of the
pistons. I found significant deposits on five of the six. I used to run an
external oil feed but stopped after going through oil at a fast rate (ring
problem?). When I removed the oil feed, oil consumption was greatly reduced
but my run on problem was present. What remedy do I have available to a) clean
the pistons and b) prevent the problem from happening again. I'm assuming that
if my engine is put together and broken in correctly, the external oil feed
should not contribute to additional oil consumption. BTW, the engine was
rebuilt in late 2005 with new pistons, rings, bearings, etc for .030 over bore.
Thanks in advance for advice you can share.
