5L oil for 2000km

 

2000km = ~200L/fuel

The old 180B wagon I had years ago used to use about that much oil, eventually we gave up, ripped out the radiator, removed the bonnet (air cooling FTW), drained the sump and ran it on lawn mower fuel.......

 

Bastard ran for 6 months like that :fuzz: Only thing that killed it was the dry chem fire extinguisher.....

I was wondering if there are any cars out there burning oil like mine and HOW MUCH?

 

I just thought i would ask it dosen't really worrie me what people think because we just finished rebuilding the 4age and when i get a few days of work we will drop it in.

From the assumed condition of your engine, it'll hold valve anywhere between 1 minute and 3 minutes, lots of variables, like topping up the oil first, having water in it, cold or warm start etc. etc.

 

And before you ask, no, it won't go BANG, it'll rattle to a disappointing halt in a cloud of oil smoke.

thats quite dissapointing i was hoping that a k motor would go bang like most things would go bang once you held them flat out as far as they can rev too

The death of a 4K is in other words as spectacular as the experience of accelerating a 4K car itself :P

They use a hell of a lot of oil.. I always had to top up mine a litre between 3 and 5k km..

Yeah until it drops a valve and smashes the piston and sends it out the side of the block.
