| I installed my 454 in a 1965 corvette. I have continuously experienced serious oil consumption. 1.5 qts. in 800 miles. I thought it was me. Then checked operating temperatures and found i was overheating. I resolved that, and she still drank oil. The power is also down. |

| A 454 will use 1 quart every 500 to 1000 miles... mine did !
I drove my Dad's 1975 Suburban back in the day..1977.
It had an LS-5 cam and a single plane intake from Chevy !
1 ton with a 5.13:1.0 rear gear
Yeah... 8mpg at 50 w/ the cruise on ! Didn't smoke. It used oil ! |

| I laso need that oil tanker. My story is the same as oil tanker. I will probably change the rings also. This engine is in a restored 1965 Corvette that is daily driven. Oil consumption is aproximately 1.5 quarts per 1000 miles. It seemed excessive, but, I chalked it up to a not yet broekn in motor. I realize i am wrong. I almost want to replace it with my 396 again! |

| I dropped this motor in my '70 El Camino, to replace a worn out 396. The oil consumption issue was the same as " Need an oil tanker". It took 2 yrs. to figure out what was up: "low tension oil rings" similar to race car rings. GM was tight lipped the whole time. I ended up tearing down the motor and lightly honeing the cylinders & re-ringing the pistons. I also added Edelbrock oval port heads & air gap manfold. The cam in this motor is a great street cam, so i left it alone. The car is a real pleasure to drive now, easy to work on, & very dependable. I would think twice about buying any GM crate product unless I re-rung the pistons. Maybe a short block. |
