Man, That sucks.... How many miles are on the 408?

 

Damn, that does suck... I'm no expert with fresh engines but the oil consumption... hopefully the pcv is to blame otherwise maybe the rings aren't seated well yet or worse. I also think its gonna be hard to make any power N/A with a 7.5 DCR.

 

I've got about 1500 miles on the motor now. I have a compression checker, been too lazy to use it yet. I need to get off my *** and do it. I have an LS6 valley cover on order, I think I need to make some kind of catch can in the meantime just to see what happens.

 

Man I feel for you. Spend all that money, hard work, and something is off. I would have lost it by now, for sure.
I hope it's nothing serious and you get it figured out quick n' easy.

 

Thanks man. I hope I get it figured out too. I'm hoping it's just cause of the low DCR numbers and a shitty PCV system.

 

Edit *I didn't see the 7.5 dcr, get a huffer on that pig

 

Damn sounds like my problems all over again except the lack of performance thing. Check your heads too and make sure they arent puddling a **** loud of oil up in them, I think that was the problem of my oil consumption. Also get a leak down tester it will show you alot more about whats going on then a compression tester. IMO you still be seeing more perfomrance then that out of the motor but I havent a clue what it could be if all your tuning is right. Is it a dog just cruising around? Your DCR is really low but damn, you have a ton of cubes

 

dude you'll get it just walk away a little while then get back at it

 

I have been trollling all your problem threads...wow...You need some good luck on your side.

 

I'm curious on how you can have the same compression on two engine but differenct DCR. How do you calculate DCR?
