Burning oil

Just the bore taper and out-of-roundness. And flipped 2nd rings. Boy, 200K on the guides..... It'd be pretty unexpected be very tight anymore.

It had .010 taper as well. Every single top ring was broken.

That's what broke the rings. No way would you ever be able to seal that pig up the way it was. The funny thing was other than the oil it leaked all over the place, it didn't use oil.

Funny how that works...LOL. I just think that when you get some taper in the bore, the constant flexing of the rings just does them in in quick order.
