oil on glow plug???
a while back when i was checking my glow plugs i noticed oil on the base of two of them. number one and five. also i am getting my injectors rebuilt one a time by owning a spare and replacing them as i get another rebuilt. on the number one and five injector there was engine oil too when i pulled them out. is the valve seals shot?

boxscar,
Does the engine use much oil? How many miles will it go until a quart is needed? P E H |

yeah, uses quite a bit of oil. not much blue smoke though.
