I generally get crap gas mileage. The little gear on the intake baffle is stripped, so it runs rich. I legit can't get a replacement for it.Originally Posted by lovbyts
Why does your 3000gt burn so much gas? I get over 25 mpg hwy with mine. 400hp at the wheels on Mustang dyno.
Haha I missed the oil part. Time for new rings. Get some WiseCo pistons with the extra valve clearance. I designed them with a WiseCo engineer several years ago when I was rebuilding my engine due to timing belt breaking. Zero clearance valves suck. New design helps elevate this issue.
I actually don't think it's the rings. Rebuilt it 9 years ago (first car when I was 14 years old), and I wasn't too happy with the valve stem seals. I think they're the culprit.
Edit: Also, screw the computers on these things. Been fighting that thing for years. I should probably just suck up and buy a new ECU instead of soldering on my old one.
