Hey guys! I've got a bit of a situation. I had a head gasket blow after owning my Trooper for 800 miles. I did a righteous repair (had the head pressure-checked and planed, used a good gasket, torqued correctly), even found the culprit - the PO didn't use the dowel pins when he rebuilt it. Now I find that I am using a lot of oil two quarts or more in a weeks time!! About 100 miles. The oil was fouling out the #4 spark plug but has since stopped doing that. Today I noticed the white oil smoke cloud when I was going down a hill and letting the engine do the braking down the hill. I never see it burn oil under acceleration. I had been told that it produces a little puff when I shift, but hadn't seen any oil smoke until today. I'm thinking that I will need to do rings. Any thoghts on what I might have going on?
