<VV> Mistery on oil fouled plugs

[Mark Durham]

its true, its better to have the closer gaps, however, my gaps with
chrome rings in .030 cylinders were all in the .15 to .19 range and the
car uses no oil after 1300 miles of break in. So, there is still
something amiss somewhere causing the oil use. I assume, Daniel, you
chose those cylinders because they had the worst plugs?
What oil are you using? moly rings? My 03 dodge v6 started using oil
when I switched to synthetic, switched it back to a good Dino oil
(shell rotella 10 30) and the engine ran better, smoother, then went
back to a synthetic at 35k miles and has been fine since. I think the
synthetic kept the rings from fully seating.
The moral of this story is if you don't find a real problem put it back
together with a good Dino oil with additive and sees what happens. Mark

I took out the #1 piston rings
and checked them in the cylinder. Got 0.015"-0.016" on compression rings and
0.021" on both oil rings.
