Mt Tam I am

Here is my rational why you should not check your oil while it is new. I did and found out at 485 miles I was down 3/4 qt, and again at 1048. Previously I had suspected, now I knew by 1500 miles I had an oil consumption problem. Had I let the engine burn up I would have a brand new built in Japan long block.
Even though dealership requested a long block due to oil starved heads that had been subjected to thermal oil viscosity break down i.e. above 260*F, I instead got a short block with my old heads placed back on top. It only took eleven days and 46.8 hours to do, since the tech had never done such a thing with a 370 before.

Let the car grind to a halt and get a proper replacement engine built by somebody who builds these things all day long for a living. I wished now I had.
