[QUOTE="nonameNo, post: 1286260, member: 25545"] before you overhaul the top engine, there are few ways to check whether your engine is "eating oil"... 1) Ask someone to rev your engine up to almost red line of RPM, then you stand behind and see whether there is black or white smoke coming out. Sometimes we cant see it when engine is idle.. but can see it when you accelerate. 2) Check the engine oil gasket (where you pour in the engine oil). Check the surround of the rubber - whether it is already worn out or not. Then check any leakage on the side of the gasket hole - on the engine. 3) Check the spark plug. Check whether there is any leakage on there. 4) Check the engine side... especially the top cover part. Check the surround whether there is leakage or not. 5) Park you car and check whether there is leakage of the engine oil on the floor. If yes, then there is leakage. If no, then the leakage might be minimal. Perhap the engine oil is dried up when you drive the car and the engine is hot... If all above is not true, then only opt for overhaul. Overhaul doesnt mean need to change the piston ring. Sometimes the mechanic just want to trick you... since the engine already open, why not change it now? mostly is the gasket that seal around the engine cover is already worn.... do a checkup and see.
