To much oil

[DubAndDubber]

Why? I hear you ask, it's simple really, consider this:


Try to word your sentences a touch different next time then!

I think you're getting off topic a little here.
I like to be coherent and concise, you've clearly misconstrued this as a personal attack. I can't really apologise. It was not aimed at you, there was no reference to you and it is posted on a public forum. Not all members are as technically inclined and it helps to be coherent.

In the future avoid using someone else's thread to raise your concerns, that's what private messages are for.

Back on topic though, previous post with regards to increased oil pressure to the valve stem seal because of overfilled oil is incorrect, the oil is entering the combustion chamber because there is more oil on the bores than the piston oil scraper rings are able to handle. Let's get the oil level within correct levels first then go from there.

you have both given valid points for what ' could' be the cause, job done

What is wrong with you, I won't be losing any sleep!

I think you might have misconstrued that, there was no such intention to do so. My posts are meant as much for everyone on the forum as well as the OP with the intention of ensuring that members are well informed.

Based on what the OP has said with regard to oil level, it seems far more likely this is the cause of the burning oil than failed valve stem seals. I would advise that the oil level be corrected before proceeding.

Not wanting to wade in on this highly charged argument, but I agree with this.

It's not to say that the stem seals aren't the problem. It's just far more likely that overfill is causing oil to get in every other way it can. I'd also say it's worth a check of the PCV + pipes, that much oil will be desperate to get sucked through the breather pipes.
