Re: [ST] 2001 Sprint ST burning oil



I hope you find an easy answer as my 99 uses oil like that also.It has since 
I aquired from
original owner.He told me about it at the time.  have replaced the head and 
valve seals as I had a nicely ported one to swap on,but that made no 
difference. The bores all looked good when I had the head off and there was 
not alot of carbon built up anywhere.Runs really nice so ??Jim.
