High Oil Consumption PROBLEM

High oil consumption (more than one quart per 1,000 miles).

NOTE: If necessary, you can track the amount of oil consumption by using the oil consumption test form contained in Service Bulletin 82-003, "Oil Consumption Test," dated March 1982.


CORRECTIVE ACTION

1. Replace all pistons with the new type.

2. Replace all piston rings with standard parts.

NOTE:

^ Hone the cylinders only if they have vertical scratches- "polished" or "glazed" cylinders need not be honed.

^ Hone only those cylinders that are scratched.

^ After honing, wash cylinders thoroughly with hot, soapy water.
