Bought a '69 roadrunner with original 383, 93,000 original miles and the motor has never been apart. I checked the compression when I bought it (170 psi in 6 cylinders, 165 in 1 and 175 in 1) so I was pretty happy with that, especially with that many miles on the engine. Unfortunately the engine uses quite a bit of oil (1 quart in 500 miles) that I assume is cause by bad oil rings or possibly the valves/heads.

Question is; do you believe that I have oil control issues due to the rings with compression that high/consistent or do suspect the valves/heads?
