<DIV>while we are on the subject of oil consumption, i want to throw something out there.&nbsp; i put a rebuilt 2.1 in my 90 gl last year.&nbsp; anyways, i guess the rings never seated properly because i get a little blow by that is noticeable around the breather tubes.&nbsp; well, 20,000 miles on the engine and i only use less then 1/8 qt of oil every 3000 miles!&nbsp; IMO that is not too bad.&nbsp; i drive 70+mph consistently on the highway and get around 18-19 mpg.&nbsp; i use castrol syntec 5/ 50 in winter and 20/50 in summer.&nbsp; now, compression is lower then i would like but not too far off the mark.&nbsp; it is around 120+ all around and has not changed in over a year.&nbsp; so, should i be worried with this little blow by even though no real oil consumption is present?&nbsp; how many miles do you predict i can get out of this engine?</DIV>
