OK

I have lived with this problem for 2 years and have to make a decision as to which way to go and am looking for input.

My stock 89 944 burns approx 1 litre of oil for every two tanks of fuel. I originally considered the biggest problem to be leaks which have all been solved, I can now smell the oil burning but only under heavy acceraltion. Absolutely nothing on deceleration or during gear changes.

In addition to sealing all the oil leaks I have done all belts,water pump, tensioners etc. I have also pulled the head and put new guides and guide seals throughout as the guides were close to the limit wear wise. The frustrating thing was when I did the oil pan I also did rod bearings just to be sure !

While the head was pulled a quick inspection of the cylinders was done but I have to admitt that the main emphasis was placed on the head. I have done a compression test (cold) on this engine and it was excellent with all cylinders within 5 % of each other.

So the question is time for rings or is there something I have missed. Any thoughts are appreciated.

Thanks
Chris
