burning 1Q every 400 miles in my former WVO car. Posted before, compression 4 x 490, NO blue smoke, little oil in IC, very little play in turbo shaft. Consumption increased >2X after cleaning intake ports, doubled again after running AutoRx. (went from 1Q/2000 --> 1Q/800 --> 1Q/400 miles). Car runs great aside from the oil consumption. No hard starts, no blue start up puff, nothing.
Anyway, a buddy of mine suggested that the oil return line from the turbo could be coked up. this makes sense to me because of the sludge/coke problems I have seen under my valve cover due to WVO use. The high turbo temps would certainly foster coking inside those lines with WVO-contaminated oil.
Anybody have thoughts on this?
Is there an easy way to check this?
As alway, thanks in advance
