i have a 2002 longblock in a 92 dakota,it has about 75000 miles on it,i checked the oil at 2000 miles and it was over 2 qts low,as in nothing showing on the stick,i have been thru the intake plate leaking and now have a plate welded onto the bottom of the intake,there is no oil film showing in the intake,and no exterior oil leaks,i ran a compression test and all cyls are good with the lowest being 140#,there is no exaust smoke! the platunim plugs didnt show any oil fouling,my question is,whats the possibalty that the intake warped a little when i had it welded and is sucking oil between the intake and heads?,or is it just gonna use some oil no matter what!,its not that the useage is so bad,but at 75000 it shouldnt be useing oil,and im not good at remembering to check it!1
