I bought a used F2 engine from a reputable LC parts supplier. The engine, I think, may be older than the original engine. The engine was supposed to be checked for ring wear, be honed if necessary and new rings, have a valve job performed, and inspection of the lower end bearings.
The engine has about 6500 miles since it was installed. It runs smoothly, but uses a lot of oil. I don't see anything when accelerating or decelerating. I suspect the oil is getting past the oil seals.
Here are my questions -
1. Is there a way to isolate the seals as the problem?
2. If it is the seals, can they be replaced without removing the head?
I am in southern Baja California so if the head comes off, I have to haul it back or have a mexican shop do the work.
Any advice would be much appreciated.
