<div class="moz-cite-prefix">You cannot create too much vacuum
through the air filters. If the pressure in the crank case is to
high or oil is directly sprayed onto the oil separator near the
PVC valve oil mist may be delivered into the airfilter. But then
there is something wrong with the engine: worn bores/pistons/rings
or worn rockershaft bearings.<br>

<div>If u have a pcv installed as per the Nock s version. What
are the negatives? will it suck oil into the intake? Could
there be too much vacuum and harm seals gaskets etc. ??

<div class="moz-cite-prefix">6 quarts over 4000mls does
not sound to bad for an old design British engine. It
also depends how the rebuild was done.<br>
The main reasons for oil consumption, apart from
leaking, are wear of bores/pistons/rings, valve guide
wear and blocked/dirty crank case breathing system.<br>
Check and clean the crankcase ventilation system first.
Check for wear in the valve guides. Check the
compression with a hot engine. <br>
That the engine was professionally rebuild does not mean
anything, it depends who has done the job. It is also
peculiar that after a rebuild a few years ago, a ring
job was needed not so long ago!!!!!?????<br>

It is very unlikely that the air filters have something
to do with the oil consumption. There is no vacuum to
speak of created there, unless they are totally blocked
or are absolutely tiny. <br>

<div class="MsoNormal">I had a brief conversation with
my mechanic the other day and in the next couple of
weeks he will do a complete diagnosis on my Healey to
try to identify why I have had so much oil
consumption. FYI, I just emptied the 6<sup>th</sup>
quart of oil into the engine yesterday – and that is
over 4,000 miles. It is better than before the recent
ring job, but nonetheless, is not acceptable to me.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal"> </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">Mechanic thinks the oil loss
might be due to combustion of the oil from the back
air cleaner that is plumbed with the valve cover.
He thinks the air cleaner I have on it now is somehow
creating a vacuum pulling oil from the valve cover and
injecting it back into the piston and is actually
burning the oil off very efficiently. I still don’t
have any signs of leaks beneath the car nor any smoke
from the tailpipe. Quite possibly the current Cooper
air cleaners are too small and are creating this
vacuum. The Cooper air cleaners replaced some other
chrome air cleaners the original owner had on the car
– I don’t know if it was original equipment.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal"> </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">Will you do me a favor and see if
anyone else had a similar issue with oil consumption
to identify a “solution” that worked for them? Maybe
there are other thoughts that we should ask my
mechanic to examine as well.</div>
