If numbers don't go up when wet usually it leads to the head gasket, top end, valves, push rod, wiped cam loab or the odd stuff like holes in the piston. Did yall do a quick valve job by chance? I've also seen a lot of 2f's that had Siamese cylinders. Hopefully when you did the compression test yall pulled all of the plugs at the same time and not one by one.
 
All. No valve job.

Driving now. Runs so good.

Dumped a can of Seafoam in the crank and one in the tank.

Peeling out. Fuggit. No reason to dig any deeper cause I ain't gonna screw with it for what I do with it.

I'll get you to rebuild the top end or if I find a good 2F I'll get you to swap it out one day.
 
This truck had a head gasket at 200,000....seems crazy they did not change out the valve guides then, but they probably did not.

I drove it home tonight in the dark with assholes tailgating me the whole time in and out of town. I cannot see any smoke.
 
All plugs out for the test. Dry and wet both 60 on #6. Tailpipe test shows at least one exhaust valve not closing/sealing properly. Points to valve/valve seat problem at best. Drive it till it starts to miss then you gotta do something before unburied fuel does more damage. Keep an eye out for a good 2F and be ready to pull the head and do a valve job if one doesn't show up. My $.02

Should be fine unless it's not an OEM gasket?

where the hell is the oil going?
 
Also, just had my head with a valve job done and it was $390 at a machine shop locally.
Disassemble and reassy is pretty straight forward.

That is why this keeps coming up. It's a lot of oil. An amazing amount to not show up as a cloud of smoke.

It's not even dripping out.

It is crazy.
 
Sludge?
 
Well if you dumped a can of seafoam in the crank case, keep an eye on the oil pressure. Myron ended up putting a crank and a set of bearings in my 93 Toyota 4x4 truck due to a bottle of marvel mystery oil. I'm sure it cleaned up the crank case but it also stopped up the oil pick up. Just my .02.
 
No sludge when I drain it.

I did that once to a 80 series. It had been abused. The additives flaked off the buildup and a huge piece hit my pickup screen.

Oil pressure dropped to zero on the interstate.

I've run so much through this truck trying to cure the running issues from sitting up for 3+ years I think all the sluffing has happened.

When I sold it in 2010 I had in the notes to the buyer that it used a quart per 1000

I had it down to a quart per 300 miles with the 20/50. I'm going to drive it all day tomorrow and run some Restore in on the next quart.
 
I put a quart of Lucas HD oil treatment in my 2F and 454 but my 2F only has 129K miles on it. I leak oil out of the lifter covers on the side of the motor. A nice slow seepage.
